This is a program i've been following since it’s start, as a matter a fact I started following it about 4 months before the first release. It is an RDP server or Linux terminal server, basically allows you to log into the system from a remote location much like windows terminal server. It uses the same protocol as windows terminal server, RDP, so you are able to connect from the windows remote desktop clients & rdesktop.
