I would love it if you would contribute to David's wiki with HOWTOs for
all the nifty things you do with linux and your hardware. I am
interested in all of it, from the use of generators (we get blackouts in
the 'burbs too), to external cages of SATA drives (photos), your massive
Dell Monitor (more pictures with The Man at work). I appreciate it may
be time consuming but may be balanced by the reduction in the number or
size of emails you write each day.

Just letting you know, that I indeed took Peter and David's advice and
put Putty on a USB stick, followed the instructions at

plugged it into another computer, used remote desktop once connected to
the esmith box and low and behold my surgery's desktop appeared together
with printers.
This will be very useful for me on my nursing home visits.
One day you might dicover how lovely and useful a true networking operating
system is - the X protocol allows me to run *any* software from *any*
computer on *any* other computer seamlessly, just as if it were running
locally, with minimal resource use. I don't even need to install anything,
all part of the default operatiing system installation. And in the same
fashion, I can access literally any device remotely too - be it scanners, USB
devices or whatever - again without needing to install special software, and
again it will run with *any* software. All with as much or as little security
as you like, and again without need for any extra software to be purchased
and installed.
And once you learnt to appreciate such features, there is no way back to the
old single desktop ways. And then they call you a Linux zealot because they
simply don't understand.
