- Choosing the LTSP server profile or the combined server profile also installs xrdp, a package which uses the Remote Desktop Protocol to present a graphical login to a remote client. Microsoft Windows users can connect to the LTSP server running xrdp without installing additional software - they simply start a Remote Desktop Connection on their Windows machine and connect.

+ Xrdp uses the Remote Desktop Protocol to present a graphical login to a remote client. Microsoft Windows users can connect to the LTSP server running xrdp without installing additional software - they simply start a Remote Desktop Connection on their Windows machine and connect.
  
  Additionally, xrdp can connect to a VNC server or another RDP server.

- Some municipalities provide a remote desktop solution so that students and teachers can access Skolelinux from their home computer running Windows, Mac or Linux.
  
  Xrdp comes without sound support; to compile the required modules this script could be used.

+ === X2Go ===

+ !X2Go enables you to access a graphical desktop on the LTSP server over both low bandwidth and high bandwidth connections from a PC running Linux, Windows or Mac OS X. Additional software is needed on the client side, see the [[https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient|x2go wiki]] for more information.
