Awesome!
by Louis on Thursday 12/Apr/2007, @05:44

These projects are all very exciting. Me, I'm most excited that Urs is going to revamp KRDC. I use it _every day_ at work to manage servers on our Windows network. The proposed tabs would be a huge help. Big thanks from me to Urs and Brad for KRDC, and congratulations to everyone who was accepted, and good luck to all.

I'm also using KRDC every day at home and at work for connecting to remote RDP/VNC hosts and was very afraid to see it probably dying and disappearing in KDE 4! KRDC is a great tool for sysadmins.

That's one of the greatest news of the day :).

Will the revamp also include krfb ? i'm a very glad krfb user (despite the occasional crashes).
If i need to assist people remotely, i just can ask them to "send me a desktop sharing invitation", and i get everything i need.. (the last thing i want to do when people have trouble is explaining how to install and start x11vnc and mail their IP address)

I like this feature a lot, especially because it is targetted to desktop users (and not to remotely manage a server, plenty of tools exist on all platforms to do that).

No, it does not.
But: Good news: there is an almost rewritten krfb in SVN! The works has been done the last few weeks by Alessandro Praduroux.

You guys are weird. I immediately kick any admins back to the windows world if they install an x server on any server machine. I love KDE, but in my opinion, ssh is the only tool you need to admin a server. An x server is just a waste of system resources on a server. But hey, if there are guys who use it for admin, then great. Personally, I'm more happy about the automatic printer driver installation. That's a *great* step towards making KDE common on the desktop, in place of winders.

you are partially right, but there are other uses, like remote assistance (helping someone out)

Is there any chance that KRDC might support the NX protocol at some point?

Threre is! NX support is a "nice-to-have" point for my project. Even if I don't get it done in the SoC time, I will add it afterwards.

Thanks for the encourage comments!

BTW: It would be great if some people could "spend" RDP / VNC servers for testing purposes. I would just need an account on that machine. The more differnent testing systems I have, the more bugs I can fix.

If you would like to help me, please conctact me: uwolfer @ kde.org
