[hpsdr] [OT] TeamViewer for Linux

[Ken N9VV]

Remote connections to other computers is always an interesting 
topic. I was introduced to "TeamViewer" by Mario DG0JBJ who used 
it from Germany to help me debug WinradHD on my WindowsXP machine. 
Now there is a version for Linux. TeamViewer seems to have some 
advantages over the traditional UltraVNC and TightVNC choices.

TeamViewer For Linux? is from Linux Fanatics.

Just a few months ago, trying to accomplish (secure) remote
desktop access to another computer, took a bit of planning and
setup. You either had to use SSH with X-Forwarding or perhaps SSH
through NoMachine.

Today there is another alternative, it’s called TeamViewer.
Designed originally for Windows and OS X, I was interested in
learning that they also produced a new beta ready to be used by
Linux enthusiasts.

As it turns out, the beta itself is the Windows version, tweaked
up a bit with WINE. But much to my amazement, it works like a rock 
star on Ubuntu 9.10. Connecting to my desktop (dual screens) from 
my notebook, I found that I was presented with a black screen. But 
after adjusting the software’s resolution setting, it clear right up.

The advantages here include:
     * Zero port forwarding or router testing.
     * Connect to any platform.
     * Any odd resolution changes made to an Ubuntu host when
connecting to it, resolve upon reseting the computer.

all the best,
