Remmina comes with easy-to-use interface, allowing us to save remote desktop preferences. We can add profiles to groups, to make searching them easier.
37
+
Remmina’s user-interface is easy to use. A quick connection can be made from the entry field beneath the toolbar by switching from the RDP to the VNC protocol, entering the address of your VNC server and clicking “Connect !”. But for convenience, it’s far better to create a re-usable connection, which we’ll cover in the next step.

Although you can quickly connect with VNC by switching from ***RDP*** to ***VNC*** in drop-down menu in main window, typing your IP address (with port, of course) and clicking ***Connect !*** button, it’s better to create save connection to make next connections faster.

Run Remmina. Click on ***New***. You can set name and add connection to one of groups (it can be anything you want) and select***VNC - Virtual Network Computing*** from protocols drop-down menu.

48

In ***Server*** field, type IP address of server you are going to connect with, including port. Type VNC password (can differ from user apssword) in ***Password*** field. That’s everything you will usually need to do.

Click on “New” to open the “Remote Desktop Preference” pane. The following details should be configured:

Because of limitations caused by speed of Internet connections and lack of possibility for hardware acceleration, by default ***Color depth*** is set to 8-bit (8 bpp). You can change it to 16-bit or 24-bit, if you need. You can also change graphics quality, which will also affect on Internet speed.

-**Server**: The IP address and port of the VNC server you wish to connect to. For example, 192.168.1.2:5901
48
+
-**User name**: Not necessary unless your server is using VNC users.
49
+
-**Password**: If your server uses a password, enter it here. If not entered and your server requires a password, you’ll be able to enter it after starting the connection.
50
+
-**Colour depth**: Choose 24-bit for a fast connection, such as across a LAN, or 256 colours when using a low bandwidth connection.
51
+
-**Quality**: Provides more control over bandwidth and rendering quality, with “Poor” trades visual quality for responsiveness, while “Best” does the opposite.
