[Sussex] Remote connection

[Gary Burton]

Hello Brendan,

I have used tightVNC in the past, but mainly to support remote PCs running NT 4.0. It was OK but required a good network connection to run at a decent speed.

However, supporting Redhat from Windows, then I guess you have the good old command line, logging in with putty - my preference. File transfers can be done with psftp.

If you need to support GUI applications then take a look at FreeNX (http://freenx.berlios.de/) - a free implementation of NX making use of the free parts of NoMachine's NX server, which I have had success with.

Bye
