Use RaspPi as a Remote Connection to a Desktop

Hey,
Does anyone have a tutorial or way to allow me to access my Desktop from a Raspberry Pi? I would like to be able to work from anywhere with it.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance

To bring the screen of another computer to your RPi, first install the following program on your RPi:
sudo apt-get install rdesktop

Get the IP address of the computer that you want to connect to, then from a command line type:
rdesktop 192.168.x.xxx (IP of your computer)

Notes:

-You will need the username and password of the remote computer
-Be sure to log out of the remote session properly.
-Remote Desktop DOES NOT work to a Windows XP Home Edition version.
-Must be Windows XP professional version and remote desktop must be enabled.
-Works good when connecting to another Linux based computer

I will try that soon!
One more thing, what OS should I use for the fastest and most reliable connection?

Don't know which is faster but Raspbian has more support than all the other OS distubutions combined.
My instructions above were for Raspbian image. For other OS you would need to inquire in the sub forum for the distribution you want to use.
