On a semi-related topic I've been trying a new way of working at home. I had access to a work laptop with winXP on it, but I couldn't change the OS. So I put my desktop (PII 266) out of the way, and ran Xvnc on the linux box, then connected to the session wirelessly from the laptop using 802.11b Its okay on the decent work laptops, but on the P166 I aquired its a lot slower. This weekend I intend to try tightvnc to see if its faster.
