Well this is good for me. I currently use a TrueCyrypt encrypted exFAT volume for backups. My motivation is now to move this to an open source system (probably dm-crypt). This and RDP is the only reason I'm hanging onto windows and that's purely out of apathy. The suggestion of using BitLocker is a bit insulting (this might just be comedy value from TC though). Every other bit of software I use is portable or in a Linux VM already.
So my weekend project is now to move all my stuff to Debian.
We have an RDP gateway which is an awful pile of shit to deal with as it uses HTTPS initiated MSRPC as the transport layer. FreeRDP doesn't work properly with that yet as there are all sorts of odd configuration and encryption things that are almost impossible to line up properly when your ops team don't actually know what they're doing or how to find out stuff for you.
Ugh; I remember having that problem a couple of years ago. In the end I had to split a room of thin clients in half, and have them each point at 1 of 2 hosts. Defeating the point of load balancing entirely :/
I'm connecting to a Windows machine from my Linux host rather than the other way round. I can connect to the Linux machine quite happily with SSH as everything I do on them is on the terminal anyway (apart from a few things which I don't want to do remotely anyway).
