[OpenIndiana-discuss] RDP to login on oi from Windows

[Jonathan Adams]

VNC will work fine for you, the RDP server for Linux/Unix is actually
a wrapper around VNC server to create desktops ...

If you want lots of remote connections then a really good solution
would be to look at running SunRays, or at least the SunRay software.

Although I never used the FreeNX in anger, it might be a reasonable
compromise.  I was looking at it as a way of allowing a common
graphical interface (with access to our locally held quality system)
for our Linux laptops, but I was really surprised by how well it
worked, it uses XDMCP.
