How can I work away from my office?
VNC: A virtual desktop
. . . to which you can connect and reconnect
- Stateful connections — GUI/desktop (unlike GNU Screen).
- Virtual desktop running on a desktop machine or server on campus.
- Connect, and reconnect both from office/home — a
work session, e.g.,
- running Fluent/Matlab GUI on desktop;
- running interactive/qrsh job on an HPC cluster.
Notes
- Experimental service on Mace01, Man2(e).
- Yes, of course it's free.
- VNC is not (yet) encrypted — tunnel through SSH.
