oh you meant outgoing ssh, right putty is best 🙂and both rdesktop and tsclient (ubuntu uses tsclient) work nicely for windows logins...@srk, right click "my computer" (or is it just computer) and see if you can enable hibernation in one of the tabs (power/performance etc) there... are you sure you are clicking the little arrow next to the power icon to get the full menu???
