Simultaneous remote connections

Question

Is there any package for Ubuntu which allows me to connect to remote computer without disturbing or terminating others who have already connected to that server or who are accessing the computer directly?.

I remember I did this in Windows Server 2003 installing Terminal Server when I was doing my course which allowed multiple clients to connect to the server simultaneously with no disturbance to clients and even direct access to server.

Is there any package like this for Ubuntu desktops?

Solution 1

NOMACHINE could be the best choice as it has a feature which doesn't reveal what a remote user is doing on and won't disturb other users who have already connected to it. In ubuntu nomachine is packaged as FreeNX

Thanks!

Solution 2

Yes. Ubuntu by default support VNC. Try using Terminal Server or Remote Desktop Viewer.

Solution 3

VNC is dam slow and other can easily look and take control

FreeNX is also a good product to check out. Not included in the repositories, but could be easier to use.

NOMACHINE works great but restricted to only one session nomachine.com/AR10K00703 "NoMachine (free) allows one connection. Hence it is for individual use."
