BX:Windows Virtual Machines
In order to facilitate the usage of Windows-only applications and for those individuals that prefer Windows on the desktop over Linux or OS X, we have added Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit as a fully supported Operating System within the BX system.
To help develop and prove this system, several Virtual Machines (VMs) have been provisioned.
To access these VMs, you currently must be on the managed VLAN (128.118.200.0/23).
From linux, you can use the rdesktop command:
$ rdesktop -g 1280x1024 bx-ritchie-3
Where -g 1280x1024 specifies the desired geometry of the window.
From Windows, Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection, then enter the name of the computer.
Note: Windows Remote Desktop IS NOT the same as Apple Remote Desktop. You can download an OS X RDP client here:
