xRDP installation how to
Based on the work of rdesktop, xrdp uses the remote desktop protocol to present a GUI to the user.
The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.
We can download and install the xRDP directly from the ubuntu software center under ubuntu and the source can be downloaded for other distros. After the installation, we can execute the command from the terminal as below to verify if its working correctly or not.
In the sunde terminals and probably in other such hardware products, we don't have to remember this command. Sunde gives us the option to choose Linux from the configuration display and that would be enough for running xRDP. And it seems to work pretty fast.
