virtualbox queston

[Tom Masterson]

I've played with rdp under gnome and had no luck connecting to the guest 
though in theory it should work.  I'll continue trying to get it to set up 
ssh properly.  I have done some with qemu and the only problem I am having 
there is getting it to work with the internet but that is also probably a 
setup problem.
