Re: Teamviewer Alternatives with Sound
Thanks for all the helpful feedback -- FAR more than Teamviewer ever returned me!
My goal is to simply also hear whatever presentations or videos my partner throws up on his screen without paying a cent to do it!
I'll keep you all abreast of my progress!

Teamviewer Alternatives with Sound
Greetings! After some trial and error I managed to have Remmina and OpenSSH make my remote desktop alternative to Teamviewer, whose support sites won't come clear whether their app does sound between Linux machines as I've failed to do. If I could wrangle sound from Remmina I'd dump Teamviewer in a ...

Re: Can Delete But Not Trash Files in NTFS Partition
