Who would be running a Linux desktop without an X server? And if they're running Windows (as I would guess most may be), then wouldn't using X or VNC would be equally "difficult" or "easy"? Now, what might be interesting would be if zLinux could be accessed via MS Terminal Services as if it were a Windows desktop, but get an X desktop instead. Not that I like Windows. I despise it. But it is pretty much ubiquitous. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
