[Falkirk] remote X server

[falkirk@mailman.lug.org.uk]

Hi All,

I have been using a product called VNC, which was developed by the AT&T labs at Cambridge Uni.

It seems to do the same job as the product which has been mentioned over the last few days. It provides a java based applet or it also provides a small footprint viewer tool.

I have been using this as an alternative to a hardware KVM switch, as my server does not have a keyboard, mouse or monitor attached.

The tool is now maintained on a site called www.realvnc.com , this is maybe an alternative to consider.

It works on linux and windows( and several other platforms), as my missus who is clinging onto windows uses it to connect the isdn line on the linux server for internet use. I will eventually get her converted to linux(probably when I delete windows!).

Cheers
Andy
