XP/VS Server is a cost effective multi-user Remote Desktop access solution for Windows using the standard Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

Installing XP/VS Server allows an unlimited number of users to remotely access all their Windows Desktops and Applications simultaneously.

Because compatible Remote Desktop Connection client software is already preinstalled on most devices and operating systems, seamless integration into existing networks without any hardware or software changes is assured.

XP/VS Server is suitable for small and medium enterprises and offers premium support services.

Please see the following screen-shot for details:

Deployment of Thinstuff´s XP/VS Terminal Server enables cost savings in licensing, hardware, service and support:

  • A big cost saving potential in licensing because XP/VS Server is very cost effective compared to most other Server Based Computing (SBC) solutions and even more cost effective compared with traditional client/server installations
  • A big cost saving potential on hardware because you can use cost effective Thin Clients instead of full Windows PCs on the client side
  • A big cost saving potential in service and support because you can centralise application and user management on the server side instead of maintaining many individual client PCs

The following table shows the basic features of the 3 different XP/VS versions

The terminal (or 'command-line') on a computer allows a user a great deal of control over their system (or in this case, Pi!). Users of Windows may already have come across Command Prompt or Powershell and Mac OS users may be familiar with Terminal. All of these tools allow a user to directly manipulate their system through the use of commands. These commands can be chained together and/or combined together into complex scripts (see the linux usage page on scripting) that can potentially complete tasks more efficiently than much larger traditional software packages.

Opening a Terminal window

On the Raspberry Pi (running Raspberry Pi OS), the default terminal application is LXTerminal. This is known as a 'terminal emulator', this means that it emulates the old style video terminals (from before graphical user interfaces were developed) in a graphical environment. The application can be found on the Raspberry Pi desktop and when started will look something like this:

You should be able to see the following prompt:

This shows your username and the hostname of the Pi. Here the username is pi and the hostname is raspberrypi.

Now, let's try running a command. Type pwd (present working directory) followed by the Enter key. This should display something like /home/pi.

Navigating and browsing your Pi

One of the key aspects of using a terminal is being able to navigate your file system. Firstly, run the following command: ls -la. You should see something similar to:

The ls command lists the contents of the directory that you are currently in (your present working directory). The -la component of the command is what's known as a 'flag'. Flags modify the command that's being run. In this case the l displays the contents of the directory in a list, showing data such as their sizes and when they were last edited, and the a displays all files, including those beginning with a ., known as 'dotfiles'. Dotfiles usually act as configuration files for software and as they are written in text, they can be modified by simply editing them.

In order to navigate to other directories the change directory command, cd, can be used. You can specify the directory that you want to go to by either the 'absolute' or the 'relative' path. So if you wanted to navigate to the python_games directory, you could either do cd /home/pi/python_games or just cd python_games (if you are currently in /home/pi). There are some special cases that may be useful: ~ acts as an alias for your home directory, so ~/python_games is the same as /home/pi/python_games; . and .. are aliases for the current directory and the parent directory respectively, e.g. if you were in /home/pi/python_games, cd .. would take you to /home/pi.

History and auto-complete

Rather than type every command, the terminal allows you to scroll through previous commands that you've run by pressing the up or down keys on your keyboard. If you are writing the name of a file or directory as part of a command then pressing tab will attempt to auto-complete the name of what you are typing. For example, if you have a file in a directory called aLongFileName then pressing tab after typing a will allow you to choose from all file and directory names beginning with a in the current directory, allowing you to choose aLongFileName.

Sudo

Some commands that make permanent changes to the state of your system require you to have root privileges to run. The command sudo temporarily gives your account (if you're not already logged in as root) the ability to run these commands, provided your user name is in a list of users ('sudoers'). When you append sudo to the start of a command and press enter, the command following sudo will be run using root privileges. Be very careful: commands requiring root privileges can irreparably damage your system! Note that on some systems you will be prompted to enter your password when you run a command with sudo.

Trminal

Further information on sudo and the root user can be found on the linux root page.

Installing software using apt

You can use the apt command to install software in Raspberry Pi OS. This is the 'package manager' that is included with any Debian-based Linux distributions (including Raspberry Pi OS). It allows you to install and manage new software packages on your Pi. In order to install a new package, you would type sudo apt install <package-name> (where <package-name> is the package that you want to install). Running sudo apt update will update a list of software packages that are available on your system. If a new version of a package is available, then sudo apt full-upgrade will update any old packages to the new version. Finally, sudo apt remove <package-name> removes or uninstalls a package from your system.

More information about this can be found in the Linux usage section on apt.

Other useful commands

There are a few other commands that you may find useful, these are listed below:

Terminal

  • cp makes a copy of a file and places it at the specified location (essentially doing a 'copy-paste'), for example - cp file_a /home/other_user/ would copy the file file_a from your home directory to that of the user other_user (assuming you have permission to copy it there). Note that if the target is a folder, the filename will remain the same, but if the target is a filename, it will give the file the new name.
  • mv moves a file and places it at the specified location (so where cp performs a 'copy-paste', mv performs a 'cut-paste'). The usage is similar to cp, so mv file_a /home/other_user/ would move the file file_a from your home directory to that of the specified user. mv is also used to rename a file, i.e. move it to a new location, e.g. mv hello.txt story.txt.
  • rm removes the specified file (or directory when used with -r). Warning: Files deleted in this way are generally not restorable.
  • mkdir: This makes a new directory, e.g. mkdir new_dir would create the directory new_dir in the present working directory.
  • cat lists the contents of files, e.g. cat some_file will display the contents of some_file.

Other commands you may find useful can be found in the commands page.

Finding out about a command

Terminal Download

To find out more information about a particular command then you can run the man followed by the command you want to know more about (e.g. man ls). The man-page (or manual page) for that command will be displayed, including information about the flags for that program and what effect they have. Some man-pages will give example usage.
