ssh can be used to create secure connections, even within a maze of
subnets and firewall rules.
rdesktop can be used with ssh to provide a graphical connection to

Not only does this give quick access to a familiar workstation, but it
makes it incredibly easy to share updates in a conference call using
jitsi. I was recently able to show a colleague how I managed backups
across several hosts while displaying the commands I ran and the
expected output. It was almost fun!
