Linux Remote Desktop (LRD) is a set of programs and scripts that replicates the Remote Desktop feature of Windows XP. It can also be used as the basis of a Linux-based Windows Terminal Services replacement.
Session management allows you to disconnect from a remote session and reconnect at a later time. All your programs will remain open in the interval so you can continue working where you left off.

Requirements

VNC and an X display manager

Installation

Note: you must install VNC and one of XDM, KDM or GDM before installing Linux Remote Desktop.

1. Untar the tarball
2. Edit the defaults at the top of install.sh
3. Execute ./install.sh install

Test the installation by connecting to port 5500 (default) using a VNC client. You should see your XDM, KDM or GDM (as appropriate) login screen. If you don’t see this screen then something went wrong with the installation.

Compiling

Note: the source tarball includes sources to the binary executables. The scripts are only present in the binary tarball.

cd vncrandompasswd
./configure
make
cd vnc_reflector
make
