![]() I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel, so I thought you guys may have some suggestions on this. I only have one machine running Windows without a GPU crunching, though, and it's about to be 0, so this isn't viable. It's fast, it sets the screen resolution to match the client machine, etc. ![]() I should have set that up way sooner.įor Windows machines that don't have GPU's Windows RDP is hard to beat. I did setup BOINC Tasks for the first time yesterday and it's pretty great. Using SSH and doing everything through command line is an option, but not one I'm necessarily wanting to do, but with being able to run BOINC Manager or BOINC tasks on another machine might not be terrible. I'm not sure if that's a viable option or the pros/cons. I know X11 forwarding is an option to launch a Linux desktop from a remote machine but I've never used it. I've used HDMI dummy plugs to get around that. The other issue with either is if you do not have a monitor attached on boot up it's almost unbearably slow(like 10+ seconds in between clicks). I'm not sure if maybe it's because of the high CPU usage running BOINC projects. VNC works inconsistently for me on Linux, a lot of times it loses connectivity and won't work again until the VNC server is restarted or the machine is. It also seems to work somewhat inconsistently connecting to Windows machines(any time a UAC prompt comes up I have to refresh it a bunch / change the graphics quality back and forth or I get a black screen). It's not nice because it will quickly flag you as not being 'personal use' if you have a lot of computers. ![]() Teamviewer is nice because it works through the internet and you don't have to worry about SSH'ing in first or a VPN or anything(which you'd need to tunnel VNC through SSH, or use a VPN for it to be secure if not on the local network - don't open normal VNC traffic to the internet). Over the years I've used VNC, or Teamviewer, and just connected to the machine and controlled the keyboard and mouse. If this topic has been covered previously let me know but I couldn't find anything. This seemed to make more sense in this subforum since it's not a hardware topic, but I was wondering how most people are controlling the machines on their network or through the internet.
