Remote desktop from Linux to Windows7

A great discovery (Linux comes out on top again!) and no extra software required. My system runs OpenSUSE 11.4 with KDE. By means of the RDP protocol, I can use Linux to connect to a Windows machine, utilising the built-in Microsoft Remote Desktop present on Windows XP and Windows 7. With a KDE system you can run KRDC and connect to a Windows machine which has allowed remote support.

Note: When using KRDC, select "rdp", not "vnc" (I am sure it is pretty obvious, but you never know what someone may overlook!)


The graphics may not be great, but functionality is all that is actually required.
