VNC sends a copy of what is in the framebuffer, which may or may not |
| 9 |
be displayed on a physical screen. You can have a framebuffer on a |
| 10 |
machine that has no display outputs at all. You can have 10,000 |
| 11 |
different framebuffers running on the PC you're working on right now |
| 12 |
assuming you have the RAM for it. I haven't set this up recently, but |
| 13 |
I believe that's basically what x2go does out of the box (except it |
| 14 |
uses NX instead of VNC). |

RDP is capable of functioning without physical console attached. |

Consumer versions of windows may block doing much of this for |
| 18 |
licensing reasons, but certainly at work we've had 20+ users connected |
| 19 |
a single citrix server at once. |
