[Gloucs] Fwd: Remote control

[Paul]

Thanks for all your suggestions on how to solve this problem...

There are a number of solutions which sound interesting and which I'll look 
into: in particular, Gitso, UltraVNC/VNC and Logmein...

I'll take a look and see if i can get one of them set up.

cheers

Paul

Hi guys, I came along to my first LUG meeting on Tuesday and wanted to thank 
you for making me welcome. The session on remote control apps was particularly 
interesting and timely given my query below.

Although I've scanned the latest LUG e-mails I thought I'd ask your collective 
views on which Linux/Windows remote control application would be best for the 
following scenario:

My farther-in-law is a newbie at Windows (XP) and occasionally asks me to help 
resolve problems with his Windows system.

Although I've been using Linux for a few years now I'm still a relative newbie 
and am currently running Mandriva 2009 Spring Free (2009.1).

I'd like to be able to remote control my father-in-law's windows PC from my 
Linux system, what would you recommend?

regards

Paul
