Muliple sessions from Ubuntu OS

[hisanju81]

Hello,

Will it be possible to maintain multiple sessions from Ubuntu?

Actually we are working on one open source application and we have setup this application on one of our Ubuntu machine and this would act as a server for other developer's windows machine.

Is any utility available(preferable open source) using which we will be able to access the Ubuntu server from all 4-5 developer's Windows machines?

Our requirement will be to access the whole system including console and GUI (same like remotely access) by using different sessions so that all 4-5 developers can start work together on the same Ubuntu machine.

Thanks in advance.
Sanjay

You can easily start multiple x sessions via ssh and use something like vnc to access them.

-Set up a user profile for each user
-Install ssh client/server on the Ubuntu box
-Use cygwin w/ ssh on the windows boxes
-Install vncserver on the Ubuntu box, and get the client for the windows boxes
-ssh from the windows box to ubuntu, run vncserver
-run the vnc client, and access the x session you just started on the ubuntu box
