| 341001 | 2005-04-03 01:44:00 | If I have two PCs running Windows X I can open a remote desktop connection (or netmeeting connection) between the two so that I can run things on one machine from the other. Can I do something similar with linux, so that I can control the Linux machine from a window on the windows machine? The Windows version I'm running is xp Pro SP2. Linux is currently FC3, however I've got a handfull of different distros I could try if one works better than another for the remote desktop connection. Cheers, Midavalo. |
