Hi!

You can maintenance your Server using the terminal (=> Putty). In case you want to access your desktop graphically you can use VNC. Loggin your HDA (ubuntu I guess?) and go to:
"System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop" or so.

Here you can allow others to access your desktop.

As client (on Windows 7) you can use tightVNC if you want:

There is no installation necessary, but you need Java. Dont forget: The VNC-protocol causes heavy bandwidth usage. So in case you want to access your desktop over the internet you should use something different. For example freeNX.

You can also the Amahi web app, VNC.

It will set everything up for you.

Or you can check out teamviewer

Ok, thank you very much for the tools


Now a question I want to use VPN like "http://www.amahi.org/apps/openvpn"
But everything i want to use in Linux is in Status Alpha and doens't work fine.. How long does it takes if this software is in Status stable?

OpenVPN is LIVE and not Alpha. To ensure you understand how to tell the status of an app, we have a wiki page with the details.

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/App_release_process

The status is done by OS, so you have to look at the OS you are using, i.e. Fedora 14 or Ubuntu 12.04.

For those in alpha status that you are interested in, they are most likely not finished or not working in most cases. We try to move most apps that are usable to BETA until they can be tested and made LIVE.

We have a long list of apps, but a very small team of folks who maintain Amahi. We are all volunteers and do this in our spare time. We do try our best to move apps along, but sometimes we just don't have the resources.

If there are any specifically you are interested in, please PM me and I can update you on their actual usability. Should you desire access to BETA apps, we do have a subscription with a small fee that many utilize. Please see the web site for details.

Ah sorry im so stupid. I just looked wrong..

But i had to say: I respect your work really! You guys with the amahi are awesome

greetz

No worries. You are not stupid, just not Amahi aware In time you will find your way around and things will be easier.
