To the desktop of a remote host PC to get on his There are different solutions. In the Windows environment, there Remote Desktop for 1:1 connections and otherwise the terminal server for multiple users to simultaneously access the remote desktop.
A large commercial providers, many of which also may be aware, is Citrix.
If you want to spend money no one ends up quickly in VNC and its derivatives (such as UltraVnc).
I personally use for Windows is also Microsoft's own Remote Desktop solution, since it clearly in terms of performance, the nose is the front. For a Linux desktop (KDE by the way also because it is faster than Gnome), I had to hint at VNC.
Dissatisfied with the performance of this solution, I already have all the time looking for an alternative to and they now FreeNX from NoMachine found. FreeNX is not only better performance but is also gentle on the server version of the system resources to deal with. In the free version of FreeNX is limited to 3 concurrent users (which I personally goes well).
After the download (for Kubuntu are available on the NoMachine site *. deb packages available), the packages for the server operation (that is, on the Linux system, which will provide the desktop) order will be recorded in the following:
-i nxclient_3.3.0- 6 _i386.deb > Sudo dpkg-i-6 nxclient_3.3.0 _i386.deb
...
Libaudiofile0 package is not installed.

# Resolve the dependencies
safe-upgrade > Sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
-i nxnode_3.3.0- 22 _i386.deb > Sudo dpkg-i nxnode_3.3.0-22 _i386.deb
-i nxserver_3.3.0- 27 _i386.deb > Sudo dpkg-i nxserver_3.3.0-27 _i386.deb After the server is now available and can be used. For more configurations, you should install you the notes under /usr/NX/share/documents/server/install-notices read (rtfm
).
Clients are available for Windows, Linux and Macs. They can be installed just as painless, as the server part. In my use of Windows client (the MacOS client, I will also test it) you can install using a wizard to connect to the Linux system to build and then both KDE (in all its beauty) as well as individual programs use the.
Other Linux desktops (like Gnome or XFCE) work just as well, of course.
