    Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation. This is going to be real handy for users on Windows Home. I’m guessing once the server is installed, one can connect to it from any RDP client, without needing the wfreerdp client, right?

    I use Remmina on my Linux Mint setup.

      Yes, it should work with any RDP client. And Remmina actually uses Freerdp as the backend btw. :)
