around my house in lyttelton I am, all on linux.

I basically use it so i can ssh to my desktop from my 486 laptop in
front of the tv , continue to chat on msn (centericq) and see emails
(pine) while watching tv.

I can also do X to the desktop, but its not much fun on a greyscale640x480
display. xawtv looks pretty funny over a 11M network in black and white,
useful to contrast to the real tv I am sitting in front of LOL.
