I've just had a play around with nomachine and without setting it up much at all it had speed over vnc. I've decided I'm going to reinstall with ubuntu server as that should make this all end up a bit less hacked. I did run into xrdp while searching for solutions but from what I found it looked rather incomplete/unstable, It's on my list if I get no joy with nomachine. has anyone used xrdp before? Also, thank you all for posting it's made my day easier already.

Thanks for taking some time to actualy say something. I've been online now for the past hour and a bit and so far it looks like VNC is most supported option. I'm using "x11vnc" server but I'm going to try others before giving up on VNC. as it stands right now, The AMD box is running Ubuntu 11.04 amd86_x64 with 2 accounts. one account for the TV automatically logs in after 30 seconds of inactivity. (you can set this up via GUI. System -> Administration -> Login Screen) This allows the box to connect to a wireless connection (I know there are other ways). I also installed openshh-server from terminal with sudo apt-get install openssh-server When I find a faster way to remote over I'll post it up for the record, if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

care to elaborate

Hey guys, I have recently built an AMD box on the cheap and want to use it as a remote development environment, also I had planed to use it to store files. I could have have almost had it running just off of windows 7, but windows didn't like me trying to use more than one account at a time. I have now installed Ubuntu 11.04 on it and am not to sure about how to set it up the way I want. The computer will end up running without a keyboard and mouse, but I have it plugged into my tv, the idea being that when its on it automatically logs into a TV account and would sit idle. I can do this just find but I'm not sure how to get a remote desktop on another account on that same box.
