### FAQ &#8211; Background {#faq---background}
-**<span class="faq-q">Q:</span> Why did you start this project?**
-: <span class="faq-a">A:</span> The whole story started from my new netbook Eee PC. I bought it and installed Debian on it. I really enjoyed it until I realized that the default installation of the RDP client &#8216;tsclient&#8217; on Debian is quite annoying for me:</p>
-
- * The Eee PC has very small screen resolution, but it won&#8217;t allow me to scroll when I am connecting to my desktop. I can move the window by pressing Alt, but I have to disable capturing all WM key bindings, and it means no Alt-Tab in remote desktop. This made me crazy.
- * In fullscreen mode, it occupies all my virtual desktops and provides no control. I can do nothing else when I am connecting to my desktop. When I roll my desktop cube, RDP is in all sides.
- * I had great experience with Krdc, which is part of the KDE project. But in order to install Krdc in Gnome desktop, I have to install tons of additional dependencies; This is obvious not a good news for a small netbook user, or a Gnome fan.
- * Remote desktop is one of the most frequently used application to me in my netbook; I have to look for a perfect solution.
-
- Well, if you happen to be in the same boat as me, I hope this is the place you are looking for!
+**<span class="faq-q">Q:</span> How did Remmina start?**
+: <span class="faq-a">A:</span> Back when netbooks had lackluster resolution, and didn't come with Linux|GNU preinstalled.</p>
+ * Netbook resolution did not allow scrolling when connecting to any other desktop. Moving the window was possible by pressing Alt, meaning no captured WM key bindings, and no Alt+Tab in the remote desktop.
+ * In fullscreen mode the default Debian RDP client occupied all virtual desktops, providing no control to do other things, with RDP on all local virtual desktops.
+ * The KDE project KRDC worked well, but pulled in lots of dependencies.

**<span class="faq-q">Q:</span> Why the name &#8220;Remmina&#8221;?**
- : <span class="faq-a">A:</span> This is mostly personal preference. 🙂 But just for you to easier remember it, it can also stand for Remote Mini Assistant.</dl>
