[Gloucs] Remote control

[Lyle]

Hi Paul,
  I've done this before with the latest Symantec PCAnyWhere because at 
the time VNC wasn't working with Vista. They have a Java version for 
Linux that runs in X quite well.

Although if I had to do it now, I'd probably put UltraVNC on the windows 
comp and download Mandriva packages for VNC. (Not that you'd have the 
Vista issue I had, but he may well upgrade at some point so it's nice to 
keep with something familiar).
