+title: Hi! Remmina - a multiprotocol remote desktop client.
+date: 2019-01-23
+author: remmina
+---
+
+
+
+Remmina is (or aims to be) a multiprotocol remote desktop client. It
+supports RDP (via libfreerdp), SSH, VNC, SPICE and other remote desktop
+protocols, featuring a very nice profile editor, and it can save
+credentials into gnome keyring or kdewallet.
+
+
+According to our statistics, more than 60% of the profiles defined by
+the Remmina users are RDP, the resting 40% is shared
+among VNC, SSH, SPICE, NX and XDMCP. This highlight the importance of
+the RDP protocol for Remmina and we want to thank the FreeRDP team for
+maintaining such an amazing project and for having always supported
+Remmina from the beginning.
+
+
+The main Remmina strengths are:
+The ability to keep a list of multiple profiles for faster access, and
+the fact that profile management is completely GUI based, therefore
+there is no need to remember or search help for complex command line
+options.
+
+Multiple simultaneous connections with very flexible windowing
+abilities makes Remmina desirable by people who need quick access to
+many different RDP or SSH servers. It features remote desktop windows
+grouping, scaling, dynamic resolution update (for RDP only), quick
+switch between full-screen and windowed mode and many other
+interesting features very appreciated by Microsoft Windows server
+sysadmins, and for those Unix admins that manage several different
+customers with many SSH or KVM servers (through SPICE or VNC).
+
+
+Remmina was initially developed by Vic Lee till the second half of 2011,
+after that it has been adopted (temporarily) by the FreeRDP project, but
+only few contributions were coming to Remmina as the FreeRDP project
+was too busy with our beloved library. Finally, in the second half of
+the 2014, because of the pushy prayers of Antenore and Giovanni,
+Marc-André Moreau gave the maintainer access to Antenore, immediately
+followed by Giovanni.
+
+Today Remmina is still maintained by Antenore and Giovanni, plus some
+very important contributors, that keep helping us improving the project
+(please see the Thanks.md page).
+
+Remmina is now installed by several thousands people and as we are
+collecting statistics, we will be able soon to understand in depth how
+many of those are really used and how. We hope, with these statistics,
+to be able to better target our user needs to maximize what we do.
+We want to remind to everybody, as usual, that Remmina is developed for
+free, in our free time, therefore _maximizing_ our efforts is a key
+factor.
