DESCRIPTION

12     Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful
13     for system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of
14     remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks. Rem‐
15     mina supports multiple network protocols in an integrated and consistent
16     user interface.  Currently RDP, VNC, SSH, SPICE, and WWW are supported.

20         "remmina", the main GTK+ application
21         "remmina-plugins", a set of plugins
22
23     Remmina is free and open-source software, released under GNU GPL license.
