To run it in foreground, you can start it just as before (that is, |
28 |
without using VBoxHeadless) but you need to enable RDP in VirtualBox's |
29 |
settings. VBoxHeadless is only for the case where you don't want to run |
30 |
it in the foreground on the PC VBox is running but only to access it |
31 |
through RDP. |
32 |
|
33 |
Note that RDP is not supported in the Open Source Edition ("ose") of |
34 |
VirtualBox. Only the non-free version (but it's still "free as in beer".) |
35 |

You can also enable the built-in RDP of Windows XP if you need |
37 |
multi-user support. |
