    From Gamgee@VERT/PALANTIR to All on Fri Jun 6 19:50:33 2025
    Looking for some suggestions on what works well for RDP/VNC connections between two Linux boxes, both running GUI (X). Not interested in
    anything for Windows, just Linux-to-Linux.

    What's your favorite? Thanks for ideas.



    ... If not for the last minute, nothing would get done.

    I don't do that much, but I find Spice works fine - I only use it for virual machines. Spice acts as a virtual device in the machine that hosts it and then you connect to it using a tunneled link.

    As far as I know, it is a protocol built for virtual environments. Are you working with virtual hosts, or with bare metal?

    It's bare metal here. I've had some success with 'x11vnc' running as
    the server, and connecting to it with the Remmina client. Seems to be
    enough for what I need it for. Thanks.

    That's what I've been using too.

    There's also server & client software for Linux that implements the Windows RDP protocol, but for Linux, and I've heard there are people who like that.. My favorite for Linux is VNC though.
