linux version and remoting

Carpenterdumonde · 05-27-2009, 05:30 PM

I just pre-ordered the Linux version. One thing I'm really interested in doing is remoting OOTP through ssh (or something like it.) Has anyone tried this? I am using a virtualized WinXP and logmein.com for now with OOTP9 - which is OK, but the combo suffers from some performance problems.

Well, any remote desktop / forwarding situation is going to be slower than being physically at your desk, since there's a hefty amount of graphics that need to be drawn.

That being said, it's entirely possible to forward X11 via SSH.

I have used RDP and Dameware to play, I mean demo for my boss, OOTP while I was at work.

It is not the best, as there is the inevitable quality loss in graphic crispness, and the GUI is a little slow reacting (don't even ask about the Stop Play button simming multiple days...), but I had no issues.

It'll work but you won't like it much.
