today i learned that it is possible to connect to Windows Remote Desktop from Linux. Very cool. i run ubuntu, like everyone knows, and there's a program called 'Terminal Server Client'. Now I don't know how long this has been around for, but i just discovered it today and wanted to blog about it.
it's very simple to use, and i'm very surprised i didn't run into any errors. i just turned remote desktop on from the My Computer properties, typed in my IP on my linux box into TSC, hit connect and it worked! amazing.
the reason i had any need for this is because i run a linux box and a windows box at work and we decided this was a much better way to control both and not get a switch. it's so much easier than having to switch back and forth. very exciting. software beats hardware.
