My time-waste projects with My LIFe-Unix-Linux-Windows

i want to access windows xp terminal services from solaris that too without root access on solaris. i found 2 solutions
which are java based rdp clients.

1.http://www.elusiva.com/opensource/
2.http://www.hobsoft.com/downloads/downloads.jsp

second one is not freeware but 30day trial. 1 st one freeware.

Both of them can be used on Solaris to access remote desktops with out root access.

Object is to access windows xp from solaris and install virtual pcs.

First step - How to enable terminal services in windows xp pro ? as we know terminal services are only enables in windows server products. so as usual i did google and found hacks, out of them replacing DLL file and ‘terminalpatch’ from one russian site.But i din;t install them with fear of trojen or virus. So what i did …. see for my next post where you will get amazing free solution to access winodws xp terminal service.

Step two- we have n number of rdp clients for windows and linux but what about our solaris that to for user having no root access ? See my next for solution that also freeware

I am Centos and fedora. I need to access windows xp partition

From CentOS, basically i am sharing one partition with FAT-32. But i would like share ntfs partition between Linux and Windows xp. I don;t want to modify / re compile my centos kernel.

so how to share windows NTFS partition with Linux without re compiling kernel ?

So upon search i got solution that is ntfs-3g. From their website http://www.ntfs-3g.org

“
The NTFS-3G driver is an open source read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, and Haiku. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems. POSIX file system operations are supported, and full file ownership and permission support is available as well.”

http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ntfs-3g-1.2216.tgz is latest ntfs-3g

No need to compile kernel you can mount ntfs fle system with mount command or using fstab

Virtualbox - product designed for software level virtualization. Using this product you can run multiple operatings systems at a time on single PC. Sun take over this company by stock purchase agreement. Sun wants to join this product in its open sourced virtulazation product xVm.Untill now there is no proper virtualization software for Sun  Solaris, Linux and Windows users already enjoying Xen,Vmware and virtual box products. So now Solaris users also will get chance !!! Lets see how it will “click”

Sun Microsystems purchased mysql - part of world famous LAMP technology. Sun invested billion $$$ on Mysql so now you can develop Mysql based application as now we have more support from UNIX Gaint. Excellent !! SUN - Thanks to Jonathan - CEO of Sun Microsystems.
