RE: Terminal Services

Rdesktop is all you need. www.rdesktop.org I believe is the url.  The
rpm can be found on the ltsp ftp site.

It allows you to connect to Win2k terminal services via GNOME/KDE/X
environment.  Works great.

Hi Jon,

I am still a little new to this area of Linux, at the minute i am just
looking in to pulling my current 2000 advanced server login screen off
the server on to the Linux workstations. I am then hoping in the future
to do the same thing with a Linux Server and have disk less
workstations.I started to download the ISO`s for the LTSP today and
reading the information on it.

Right now i am just having a look round on the net to see if i can find
any documentation on this area. I am still trying to find where to begin
with it all :)

But thank you for your post, It is very much appreciated.
