I was surprised today to find that on OpenVMS 8.4-2L2 XDM with CDE does not only work but is also very simple to set up in comparison to Linux!

I know CDE is not excatly central to VMS' future, but it does help with the familiarity with the system if a remote desktop connection works and allows at least the use of a text editor and mail program.

Now, I was impressed by the ease of the configuration. Even Windows Terminal Server is much more difficult to set up and configure!
