Heres an early Christmas gift to fellow niners with Windows and Linux boxes,who are looking for an easy way to access all their Windows applications andremote files when Wine-type solutions fall flat.

 

I've packaged together a set of software components. Itprovides a seamless terminal solution for Fedora Linux users with capable Windows machines.

 

I've made RPMs for a patched CVS-built rdesktop, included Microsoft'sElevate Power Toy for Vista, Fontis IT's enhanced SeamlessRDP server,and a small tray application and five page Readme wrote by me.

 

Be sure to check the Readme file.

 

 

System Requirements:

 

* A computer with a version of Windows that encompasses the servercomponent of Terminal Services--Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, WindowsXP Professional, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista Business, Ultimate,or Enterprise.

 

Note: Windows Server 2008 terminal servers are not yet supported.

 

* At least one computer with Fedora Linux installed. Although thissoftware is capable of working on other distributions or Unix-likeoperating systems with a simple re-compile procedure, this particularpackage is designed to work with 32-bit versions of Fedora and Windows.Re-compiling the SRPM and SeamlessRDP components are necessary for64-bit machines with 64-bit operating systems.

 

* Any sort of network or Internet connection for both the server andclient. A simple 56K modem connection would be sufficient. That said,dial-up modem support under Linux is a joke at best therefore, formost users the only options are wired Ethernet or wirelessconnectivity. The Terminal Server system may be accessed from a localor wide area network or via the Internet.

 

Enjoy.
