      First of all thanks a lot for Antix. I’ve been looking a long time for something like it.

      There are a lot of pen drives or live CD out there and Antix is a very good one among them. What makes it standout is that the devs recognize the need for some of us to use it as a “regular computer”.

      So if, “Back in 2009, the antiX devs foresaw that usb flash drives would be the wave of the future for live Linux media “, nobody yet did the same for virtual machines !!!
      To me having a machine that you can reach from everywhere with your stuff (staple) on it often beats a pen drive. I am not talking about “LibreOffice” here, but more things like Zim Wiki, RemoteBox, etc.

      My demand:
      PLEASE make Antix easy to RDP into it, so that Antix is easily reachable form that “Windows” thing without any installation.
      Right now it’s next to impossible, xrdp will just freeze and show blank screens. Or maybe I’m just dumb… so wise me up!
      It would be so good to get to my “knowledge base” from really everywhere !

      TIA
      Eric

      BTW: Antix 17.2 latest on “testing”

        x2go, Team Viewer, Remina … there are many easy solutions around … even Google Chrome has an onboard RDP.
        There are also many YouTube videos and how to’s … simply Google for “rdp linux to windows 10”.
        Completely without any installation probably wouldn’t make much sense for most of users.

          If you intend an X session, bear in mind that SLiM login manager, by design, does not support XDMCP.

            Remote X session works fine; Just not many Windows PCs with an X server already installed out there…

              Didn’t know that x2go, Team Viewer, Remina or Chrome where RDP servers needing no installation on the client side.
              Could you elaborate please ?

                Of course they all need installation on Linux. Where’s the problem?
                On Windows you can take Portable versions – so no install.
