Title: Remote Desktop client for AROS released!
Post by: HammerD on April 22, 2010, 11:00:58 PM

Remote Desktop client for AROS released!

The Remote Desktop team is pleased to announce that Remote Desktop client has been ported to AROS! It is now available for immediate download on http://www.HD-Zone.com.

We would like to thank Yannick Erb for his work on the port. Without his hard work this would not have been possible!

Head over to http://www.HD-Zone.com to download.

Some of the specific features of the AROS port:

-First port using 1.6.0 rdesktop sources,
-Native AROS pointer,
-Specific GUI,
-Sound redirection isn't working (at this time)

This is the full version of the software, it is not a demo version. If you wish to make a donation, please do so on the website. If you wish your donation to be directed to specifically to Yannick, please specify this when

Donations ensure that we will be able to provide updates and bug fixes in the future.

Feedback is appreciated!
Thank you!!

Sounds great, website should have some screenshots showing you controlling a windows desktop from aros, that would be very nice to see.
 
I think Imica Steve (clusterUK) did something like that in one of the aros videos...
 
I think its a great idea for aros, throw a windows pc in a corner without a monitor,mouse or keyboard and just control it from aros. Ahhhh the nerdly goodness of that... :)

P3 is enough for trying. I used a PIII 800 for quite a while. Now I have a "lightning fast" P4. :-)
