A couple of questions: which version of BLAG are you using? I am running 90001 - you can confirm your version as follows:
| Code: | pablo@patagonia=> cat /etc/blag-release
BLAG release 90001 (oxygen) |
The next question would surround which package manager you are using or plan to use. both "apt" and "yum" are available, although yum is preferred on BLAG 90001.
Assuming the use of yum, you can search for any package in the BLAG repository by typing "yum search <string>". I'll use "vpn" as my search string:
| Code: | root@patagonia=> yum search vpn
blag | 2.4 kB 00:00
primary.sqlite.bz2 | 9.0 MB 00:42
================================= Matched: vpn =================================
NetworkManager-openvpn.i386 : NetworkManager VPN integration for OpenVPN
NetworkManager-vpnc.i386 : NetworkManager VPN integration for vpnc
ike-scan.i386 : IKE protocol tool to discover, fingerprint and test IPsec VPN
: servers
openswan.i386 : Openswan IPSEC implementation
openvpn.i386 : A full-featured SSL VPN solution
openvpn-auth-ldap.i386 : OpenVPN plugin for LDAP authentication
pptp.i386 : Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Client
tinyca2.noarch : Simple graphical userinterface to manage a small CA
vpnc.i386 : IPSec VPN client compatible with Cisco equipment
vpnc-consoleuser.i386 : Allows console user to run the VPN client directly
wifiroamd.noarch : Automatic WiFi connection (re)establishment daemon |
Of the above, "vpnc" is a fully Cisco-compatible VPN client that I've used successfully from Linux desktops. Install as follows:
| Code: | root@patagonia=> yum install vpnc

Using the same "yum search <string>" command, I tried "rdp" first:
| Code: | root@patagonia=> yum search rdp
blag | 2.4 kB 00:00
primary.sqlite.bz2 | 9.0 MB 00:45
================================= Matched: rdp =================================
openoffice.org-writer.i386 : Word Processor module for openoffice.org
OpenEXR_CTL.i386 : A simplified OpenEXR interface to CTL
gnome-compiz-manager.i386 : Compiz configuration utility
gnome-compiz-manager-devel.i386 : Development files for gnome-compiz-manager
gruler.noarch : GNOME screen ruler
libwpd.i386 : Library for reading and converting WordPerfect(tm) documents
libwpd-tools.i386 : Tools to transform WordPerfect Documents into other formats
okteta.i386 : Binary editor
perl-Text-RecordParser.noarch : Read record-oriented files
rdesktop.i386 : X client for remote desktop into Windows Terminal Server
scratchpad.i386 : Spatial text editor for the GNOME desktop
wordpress.noarch : WordPress blogging software
|
among these, "rdesktop" is what I've used. It provides an X gui for both rdp and terminal server. For more information, use "yum info <package>", like so:
| Code: | root@patagonia=> yum info rdesktop.i386
Available Packages
Name : rdesktop
Arch : i386
Version : 1.6.0
Release : 1.fc9

: required. |
Finally, to install, do the following:
| Code: | root@patagonia=> yum install rdesktop
