" but what if you administer both windows and *nix"?
My preference is to use a Linux desktop. Although I am managing only two Linux servers one for email and squid and the other two for legacy Win NT VM servers, your requirements might be different. You can manage Linux servers from any OS. In Linux, we can use the Terminal server client or rdesktop to view the Windows/NT servers/workstations, so there must be nothing that prevents you from using Linux to administer both Windows and Linux. To view Linux desktops and servers, I am using freenx server. ----- Original Message ----- From: "botp" <[email protected]> To: "Mailing List para sa Ubuntu Pilipinas (Philippines)" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 7:47:42 AM Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-PH] virtual Machines?
