Talked some friends of mine into trying Kubuntu instead of Windows and even
hit fertile ground there. In ya face, Bill.
Now - there's people whose capabilities end before reading file permissions,
so I feel a little obliged to support them.
What I needed was a vnc connection that was secure both ways and bears no risk
of one party meddling with the other side's machine.
Now: is this setup tight or am I missing on something? Can one side break into
a shell obvisouly? Other security risks? (Apart from that the client has to
trust me on the vnc part.)
If all is good, any advice how to make the tech illiterate understand there's
no good? Tried to use a friend as a test balloon but she bailed out because
she was a "weird feeling" about it.
A friend of mine put together a Kubuntu box for his mother in New Jersey
and mailed it to her, then was able to "look over her shoulder" via ssh
and vnc whenever she had trouble. And she was using dialup.
