Does anybody here want to make a short video to show how rDesktop looks like?
I'd like to compare it to VNCviewer.
Since I've never used a Maemo device before I want to see how things work before I buy one :P
Sounds reasonable right?
Here is my other request for a VNCviewer video

Thanks to cddiede I know how vnc works.
Hoping one of you can help me out on this one.
Thanks in advance

Hi-
I am a part time trader and have to ocassionally manage my trades from office- is there any way I can use N900 to remote login to my desktop at home and access the trading platform and manage my open positions?
Your response appreciated!

If you've got the .deb file, then "dpkg -i" in the XTerminal will install it.
What would be of great help to me is the "command line" i should type as it should appear in Xterminal.
so as not to be blunt, can you do it for me so I can cut and past.
thanks, Tim.

Thanks to everyone who participated on these blogs.
I am liking my n900 a little more now that I have RDP back.
So to install first you need root assess: http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access
then you need to know the location of your .deb file (here i cant help much)
I found one common folder in the "File Manager" "cities" its path is /home/user/MyDocs/cities/
I moved "rdesktop_1.7-maemo1_armel.deb" (https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=214) to that folder.
in Xterminal I used the "cd" and "ls" commands to locate it.
then I ran "dpkg -i rdesktop_1.7-maemo1_armel.deb" from the "/home/user/MyDocs/cities/" folder and rDesktop installed and it works well.
Now I need to know how to send an F4 key press through rDesctop from my N900 any help?
thanks to the people who do all this stuff.

When you start File Manager, it begins by pointing to the MyDocs directory. A lot of the directories shown there are hidden (prefixed with a .) so will not show with a normal ls - you can use "ls -a" to see these though.
