[Wylug-help] ssh

[Dave Roberts]

I would have a look at a combination of Knoppix and freenx. Freenx will 
allow you to use your firms machine as a thin client attached to your 
home machine. Knoppix comes with freenx configured in the live cd 
version. The latest Knoppix version is 4.0.2 and although the main 
version comes on DVD they have a stripped down version on CD. If your 
firm is cooperative they will provide you with the info to configure the 
networking to get you out and you will then be sat, in effect, in front 
of your home pc. With a bit of practice you could connect from anywhere 
in the world (that's the theory anyway) if you take your Knoppix Cd with 
you. Have a look at the Knoppix and freenx web sites for more info.
