Tonight was a little rocky for Mr. Ubuntu. I was trying to help my father out with an Outlook Express issue obviously on a Windows machine. My typical remote access solution would not work as it requires Windows as the support PC. However, I went ahead and tried to do a terminal server connection to a server on his network and then launch the application. In this case ShowMyPC. The connection was SLOW!!! I then started searching around for something that was cross compatible. I found YuuGuu but apparently am too dumb to figure it out.
Does anyone have a recommendation for remote support TO Windows and OS X workstations and servers FROM linux? Preferably Ubuntu. I prefer free solutions but would be willing to pay a small fee if needed as long as it also supported support from Windows as I could use it from my job.
On a softer note, I do like RhythmBox. I want to get Pandora playable inside there but that can come later.
Setting up VPNC and the Network Manager VPN piece was pretty easy. All through apt-get… I needed this to connect into my work place and do time entries and remote support stuff.
So far so good. With the exception to remote support to Windows based clients, I’m pretty rock solid on Ubuntu.
