On my network there are two machines: baby and blossom. baby has a 900 megahertz processor with 256MB RAM. blossom has a 200 megahertz processor with 128 RAM. Right now baby has Gentoo 2005.0 and blossom is running Red Hat 9. I would like to set up something where my wife can log in on blossom (it's my wife's computer) and it connects blossom to baby (via the network) I want blossom to act as a dumb terminal, with all requests made on blossom going to baby. My wife prefers GNOME, but it runs so slow on blossom (that's why she wanted RH9) I'm pretty sure there's a way to do this, but I don't know how to start. I know I could use Google, but I don't know how to phrase my query. I know that all this could be accomplished with ssh, but is there a simpler way?
Bonus question: blossom has a TV card. I'd like to know (if it's possible) how to access blossom's TV card from baby. If it matters here's the output from running lspci on blossom.
