Open Source Distributed Computing Software

Xming is the leading X Window System Server for Microsoft Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (+ server 2012/2008/2003). It is fully featured, small and fast, simple to install and because it is standalone native Microsoft Windows, easily made portable (not needing a machine-specific installation).

Redirects incoming commands from COM1 to the command prompt and returns results from command prompt back out COM1. This is primarily useful for automation of Windows servers via console in Linux virtualization environments(ex: KVM, XEN, etc.)

This program makes easy the configuration and utilization of multiple connection to remote desktops, using rdp or vnc protocols. Supports almost all rdesktop and xtightvncviewer parameters and copy/paste/rename connections. Stores password in kwallet.

LXDE on Cygwin is your "swiss knife" for remote computing. In a Window$$ application, it provides loads of functions that are tailored for HPC users, webmasters, IT administrators and pretty much all users who need to handle their remote jobs in a more simple way. LXDE on Cygwin provides all the important remote network tools (SSH, PUTTY, X11, VNC, FTP,SFTP, MOSH, FILEZILLA ...) and Unix commands (bash, ls, cat, sed, grep, awk, rsync, python, git ...) to Windows desktop. The program was created mainly as an alternative to MobaXterm with the original purpose of connecting Window$$ computers directly to HPC clusters, to use X11 apps and not only. Of course you can use a beautiful LXDE desktop on your window PC and add Cygwin apps with apt-cyg command.

PuSSH is Pythonic, Ubiquitous SSH, a Python wrapper/script that runs commands in parallel on clusters/ranges of linux/unix machines via SSH, ideally where SSH is configured to use Kerberos, RSA/DSA keys, or ssh-agent as to avoid password authentication.

.NET VNC Viewer is a VNC viewer written entirely in C#. It is binary compatible with Smartphones, Pocket PCs and Windows desktops (.NET CF or .NET Framework). I write this because other VNC viewers on Pocket PC do not do full screen and screen rotation.

VB.Net DLL wrapper created around SharpSSH (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/sharpssh.aspx & http://www.tamirgal.com/blog/page/SharpSSH.aspx) to permit VBA to create a SSH connection.

central-ssh (cssh) is a Perl program that allows systems administrators to run multiple arbitrary commands on multiple arbitrary hosts from one central host. Straight CLI or config file can be used.
