RDC Is XP Professional, Not Home
Authored by: chris_on_hints on Feb 03, '05 12:32:57PM

Yes, thats right (i think 2003 server also has the RDC server software).

At least the client RDC is available for all windows (from 98 upwards, i believe) and works well for remote access.

For two machines on the same desk (and when they both have their own monitor), I put another vote in for osx2x to control them using the same keyboard / mouse...

and note: If your two machines are connected via a secure network (ie a home network behind a router or through encrypted airport) then the security is pretty much a non-issue... but I think a SSH tunnel is a necessity if working remotely through the internet (or on an untrusted network) to protect passwords you might be typing in and sending to your remote machine...
