How to Configure a Linux Terminal Server Client
The Terminal Server Client is a graphical application for the Gnome desktop that allows you to connect to remote computers. It is capable of using the RDP, RDPv5, VNC, XDMCP and ICA protocols. The RDP and RDPv5 protocols are used for connecting to the Windows Remote Desktop. The VNC protocol is capable of connecting to any computer running a VNC server. The XDMCP protocol is used to connect to Unix and Linux computers running an X server. The ICA protocol is used to connect to Citrix Servers. Configuring the client is done through the tabs at the top of the screen.
