    I use mRemoteNG at work to log on to Windows servers (RDP) and Linux servers (ssh). Wanted something similar at home where I run Ubuntu and Kubuntu. I remembered Ubuntu coming with Remmina and it supported VNC, RDP, and ssh. This fits into what I need and works great.

    Imo the best alternative to mRemoteNG so far is only Linux/BSD.

    Remmina has always been my go to application for RDP on Linux and led me to find something better in Windows i.e. mRemoteNG.

    Works quite well for SSH and Telnet but no RDP. Also it's not really open source as what's provided is very out of date and incomplete.

    Much like mRemoteNG, it integrates not just console connections like Telnet or SSH, but also VNC and RDP connections. It also let's you group and organize connections with folders.
