DESCRIPTION

14       Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful
15       for system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of
16       remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks.
17       Remmina supports multiple network protocols in an integrated and con‐
18       sistent user interface.
19
20       Currently RDP, VNC, SSH, SPICE, and WWW are supported.

22       Remmina is released in separated source packages:
23
24       •   "remmina", the main GTK+ application
25       •   "remmina-plugins", a set of plugins
26
27       Remmina is free and open-source software, released under GNU GPL li‐
28       cense.
