I was told to use nomachine to access a remote server.

Is there anything else that I could use instead?

The remote server is already running the nomachine's server application. I would like to use an application supported by Ubuntu (for nomachine's package I had to enable a PPA, using the directions here).

    @belacqua I'd say no, it's not a duplicate, primarily because that question is Ubuntu > Windows, this is Ubuntu > * (or vice versa). – jrg Oct 26 '11 at 17:25
  • If it was a duplicate, now it is not. And as jrg mentioned, the other question asks specifically to connect to a window's desktop. – BЈовић Oct 26 '11 at 17:30
  • No problem with duplicates (if all answers everywhere are great, we should merge them) -- just thinking there might be a lot of overlap. – belacqua Oct 26 '11 at 17:34
  • I can see some overlap, since it was suggested I think a merger is a good idea. – jrg Oct 26 '11 at 17:43
  • There is overlap (some clients handle multiple things and the core idea is the same) but I'm thinking of people who might be searching for something specific like "ubuntu nomachine clients" or "ubuntu rdp clients". Keeping RDP, VNC, XDCMP, NX, etc separate would benefit them and make each list of answers more maintainable. – Oli Oct 27 '11 at 22:22
  • @Oli Fair enough! – belacqua Oct 28 '11 at 00:17
