Remote access in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| As you know, Windows XP works only in a graphical environment. Thus,
| when we connect to it remotely, we are condemned to use the GUI. This
| is called ?remote desktop? and it works great? but only when you have
| a stable broadband connection to your remote machine. When you are on
| a modem (like GPRS, EDGE) or another type of weak connection, using
| the remote desktop in a comfortable manner is just not possible. In
| the case of previous versions of Windows, it?s even worse since the
| RDP connection is not available there and you are forced to use
| third party tools like TightVNC or shareware radmin, which does
| not offer comparable performance to the Remote Desktop.
|
| In GNU/Linux you (as usual) have a choice -- you can connect
| remotely, both graphically and text-based using at least a
| few methods described below.

On the virtualisation front, a rather anti-hype article:
The Linux Letter: Virtualization Is Complicating Simplicity

| The novelty of virtualization has given vendors new avenues for
| marketing and market manipulation, and they're taking full
| advantage of it. The benefit to the consumer is that it has
| also given opportunities to go bargain shopping, but there
| is a dark side....
