Hi Leland, I've that that but it doesn't work. xrdp installed easily enough using apt-get. When I connected using the XP Remote Desktop Connection, the default module was sessman-Xvnc. When I connected using that I had the same problem as before, the menu with "Applications System and Places" was frozen. None of the other modules would connect. I killed the vnc server and tried to connect using sessman-X11rdp. That failed with the message "error - only supporting 8 and 16 bpp rdp connections." All the best.

I've used vncserver on several Fedora boxes and it works once it is setup right. I tried xrdp and that was simple to install as running the package manager, start the xrdp server daemon and I was done. From the Windows box I used the Remote Desktop Connection application, Microsoft's Terminal Services client, to connect. You get a graphical login like you get at the locally connect console screen. With any luck you have it available for your distro and the install script takes care of setting things up, mostly, for you. http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/ http://packages.debian.org/lenny/xrdp 73's Leland C.
