I subscribe to most of the various Linux rags, and get varying degrees of knowledge out of them. I frequently read something interesting, get to work (where I could use it) and forget what the software was I discovered, and even which mag I discovered it in, and can't find it.
Hopefully any avid dead tree readers can help me on two particular subjects:
1. In this month's issue of one of the mags, I started reading an article about remote access, where several options were compared, including NoMachine's NX (which I use), and something else (which got the best review) which I can't remember, but would like to play with. It was GTK based.
2. A couple of months ago, one of the mags reviewed an SSH tool (might have been a terminal tool) which would allow me to better manage multiple sessions, including running the same command across multiple sessions ("apt-get upgrade" etc), and various commands to make the windows easier to work with. It integrates with screen as well, as I recall.
Anyone able to tell me what either of these packages were?

Found this one myself: it's Remmina. It was remembering that it was GTK that gave me the keyword to search on that removed enough of the wood for me to see the tree.

Still not a clue on this one though :-(
