Coming from Windows, so that is what my expectations are based on. I have a Ubuntu desktop edition instance running as a virtual machine on a server. I would like to use it as my primary open source dev environment but the VNC tools I have used don't seem to be as rich as "Remote Desktop Connection" in Windows.

The two things that are missing for me:

  • connecting/logging into a non-console user sessions
  • dynamically resizing the graphical resolution based on the size of the remote desktop window
  • device sharing (USB devices plugged into client shared with remote)

Is there an appropriate client that I can run on Windows to connect to my ubuntu dev instance that provides these capabilities?
