It is sensible to have them all done from one system. I thought at this

projector before, so there may be no need for further testing. Was it
your projector we used for the talk at the Shirley Workingmens Club? (It
was on etherboot with the speaker being a guy from Sydney whose name
escapes me right now)

How about ethernet and ssh -Y or client-server-X? I am controlling all of the four computers we have in our network via the first method. Till now I have only had problems with accessing my computer, but on that machine I have changed so much that it cannot be conisdered to be a standard system.

If someone likes messing up other peoples computers, try the following mini-script over ssh as root: It does not use the -Y option but is very funny if someone else is using the machine: while true ; do killall -s 19 X ; sleep 1 ; killall -s 18 X ; sleep 1 ; done ; WARNING: Do this only over ssh, otherwise it will freeze your mouse, keyboard and screen infinitly.

Happy Hacking,
