    Debian is a Linux OS, which means that it does not support Microsoft RDP. You'll probably want to find the webpage where Webmin is so you can administrate the server. It's possible to use a shell console to issue commands to the server, but unless you know what you're doing you probably don't want to touch that.

    I believe that Debian has a package called 'xrdp' which is an RDP server that might work for you. Give it a try and let us know.

    Do you need a Linux VPS or windows. If you are more comfortable with windows why not use that?

    Well the thing you trying to do needs purely windows server enabled with remote desktop connection.

    You may be be able to achieve this on linux vps.

    Hello,
    Switching to a Windows VPS would cost you more money and you may also need to change servers. Windows requires Xen or KVM and will not work with OpenVZ based nodes.

    Question is not about managed service or unmanaged or I know about linux or not. I know how to use the server what I'm asking is how I will use Remote desktop, geez read properly.
