Just for the record, there's a large number of remote desktop solutions for Linux: remote X, VNC, NX and there's NeatX which is an open source NX server writtten by Google. Sorry doesn't help with your problems though.
Thanks... I find X and VNC are not really comparable to RDP in terms of usability (eg performance, connecting from different resolutions, keeping sessions, suitability for windows users etc.) NX is great but quite expensive. I didn't know about NeatX so I will have a look. But it doesn't have a release yet so I imagine its a little experimental. I stil think that for sharing a well equipped workstation among a small laboratory group (with no command line experience) win 7 and remote desktop is the best solution. Cheers Robin
