Looking for some suggestions on what works well for RDP/VNC connections
between two Linux boxes, both running GUI (X). Not interested in
anything for Windows, just Linux-to-Linux.

What's your favorite? Thanks for ideas.

"both running X" - for that I am using X forwarding via ssh.

Do you want persistent logins? Do you want access to the physical X display (:0), virtual ones, or both? Looking for the client or the server end (or both)?

If VNC and RDP above are not a requirement (but merely examples): I am using x2go for a couple of years now (and try to avoid the other two, if possible).

Don't even know enough about it to answer the first two questions...
Looking for both client and server.

I'm assuming you avoid VNC/RDP for security reasons... I've added x2go
to my list of candidates, and it looks pretty good. Thanks for the
reply!

Ahhhh yes, that may be the simplest approach. Thank you.

Have you tried Remmina? Seems to work well here. It requres that an RDP server be running on the machine you want to make the connection to. I use xrdp for that.

So far the majority of issues I have had are either user error or a network glitch.

That sounds like a good combination, will give it a look. Thanks!
