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.
