Ok so I know this is a Linux blog and it seems like all I keep writing about is Windows software hopefully this will be the last app for awhile.
Anyways I dont know how many people need a good application to do RDP, Telnet, SSH and VNC on windows but if you do then I suggest mRemote. I have found the app on LifeHacker and been using it all day at work. I have to say I am very impressed with it.
Indeed it is a great tool, but I’m really curious if there is a Linux equivalent around.
Besides I believe that mRemote isn’t really freeware anymore.

Rob,
Sadly it looks as though you are right about mRemote going commercial. Sad to see this happen to a great project like this, I guess I will have to take it off my recommendation list for windows admins. I did a little bit of looking around and it seems there was never a public source repository created for the sourceforge project so it looks like there will not be a fork of the project. I know everyone has to make a buck but I am a big believer in open source software one reason why I love Debian so much.
I have never found anything like this for Linux. I use a combination of tsclient and rdesktop from my Linux workstations. I would love to hear if someone finds another good open source project like this for Windows or Linux as I make software recommendations all the time to fellow sysadmins. If I find a replacement I will post it here but I am back to being a full time Linux admin/developer/architect so I doubt I will stumble across anything.
