I come from a Windows background and have been using Remote Desktop to view a remote server's desktop on my local machine. Remote desktop is probably the most popular tool for doing this because it's already part of the OS. Is there a similar tool for Windows but for accessing a Linux machine instead?

Answer 1

Try VNC. It works on Mac and Linux. You need to be running the server portion on the Linux host.

Answer 2

Take a look at xrdp. According to project description you can even use your native Windows client to access Linux desktop:

The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop, freerdp, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.

Answer 3
