Desktop sharing options for Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity
- by Stefan Buynov
I would like to be able to access my office Ubuntu 12.04 machine from home, from a Mac Mini with Mac OSX. I have a VPN and I am able to access my office machine over SSH, so connectivity is not a problem. I browsed other questions, and it seems that there are several options:
VNC
XRDP
FreeNX (haven't heard this one before)
Are there any other?
I have been using Remote Desktop on Windows before, and I actually like it. Not sure how well is XRDP implemented. I also used VNC several years back, and I didn't like its performance back then - not sure if things have changed since then.
As I said above, the machine I want to access is running Ubuntu 12.04, with Unity. And I am using Unity by choice - I really like it and would like to continue using it :)
The client computer is running Mac OSX (Snow Leopard).
Based on your previous experience what is the best setup for this environment?
