![]() Connect to a remote boxĪs I wrote previously, when you open Boxes, it displays the main window shown below. ![]() As in Part 1, I'll use Boxes' preferred terminology for a virtual machine, box. Here in Part 2, I'll cover the remote access capabilities of Boxes. Boxes' main screen then displays both local and remote boxes in a way that brings them together for easier access. However, Boxes is not a one-trick pony in addition to quickly creating a box locally, you can also connect to remote systems, both physical and virtual, using various protocols. I showed how simple it is to get a box up and running with a wide range of operating systems. SPICE is a very complex and ambitious project that aims to offer a complete remote access solution with powerful features, designed for the control of virtual machines. In the previous article, I stepped through the process of creating a box running Fedora 30 Workstation. The test methodology was pretty simple - we wanted to see how each protocol (SPICE, RDP, and ICA) performed in a controlled environment. The GNOME Project describes Boxes as: "A simple GNOME application to view, access, and manage remote and virtual systems." In Part 1 of this series, I introduced GNOME Boxes, an open source virtualization tool maintained by the GNOME Project as part of its GNOME Desktop Environment.
