558493 2007-06-12 11:46:00 Any advice?

I am looking at options for a home network/server setup.

What I want to do is have one computer system and have multiple monitors , keyboards & mouse to access computer. I am looking at a kind of log in screen on the monitors which would call the computer and let me use it for internet, using software programs etc. I think I will need a router or some such item to link the computer and "terminal" together.

What hardware is needed for this type of system?

Will be using windows xp or vista if needed.

any advice on which direction to take or look at is really appreciated.

I don't know about window solutions
but easily done on linux with vnc or freenx or any remote session alternatives
if you're desperate to run windows.. I guess you can run it through vmware inside your linux machine..it'll work.. but prob not worth the effort

to use this you need one comp as server
then client computer access it through network

or you can have a look at this:

that's linux only too I think
