Is it possible to remotely administer a Linux machine from XP Pro?
Sure. Or at least for 99 and 44/100 % of the time, you can do it. All you need is a "X-windows" program, or even VNC. You can even set it up using SSH so that access is secure. I remotely administer my Mandriva machines all the time, they have a pretty decent GUI for admin. For the very weird stuff, I just plug a monitor and keyboard into anything, but my SlimServer box has been up and running Last login: Sun Jul 23 10:43:51 2006 from 172.16.4.41 (beatles)/home/pfarrell> uptime 23:52:10 up 403 days, 11:03, 2 users, load average: 0.28, 0.13, 0.11 over a year, and at no time during those 13+ months have I had to touch the machine or use a monitor or real keyboard. Of course, my preference is to put the SlimServer in the basement so I don't have to listen to fan and hard drive noise with my serious music -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
