Then connect to it fullscreen with vncviewer, locally or from anywhere. Your session stays up until the server reboots (might be a long time). --Mr O has the nicest hardware-based system for sharing one keyboard and mouse with more than one box. A software-based solution to the same problem is x2x (for 2 linux boxen) or win2vnc (2 win boxes, or linux & win).
