This one is easy, my server is always on, and I always leave a "vncserver" instance running under my user.
When I am at the office, I simply run "vncviewer server:1" locally, to view my always-on desktop. When I am at home, I use putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html to make port forwarding http://freesco.no-ip.org/VNC/ with vnc http://www.realvnc.com/ to view the same desktop, quite useful when compiling big stuff, downloading distribution ISOs among other things ;) Of course, the more desktops you leave on 24 hrs a day, the more resources you will need on the server, so its not as practical when most users find out about the feature. The vnc-X-session is a little non related because this starts a session upoon connection as I have read, but it shows the level of flexibility that you may achieve in linux. http://www.pcxperience.org/thinclient/software/vnc-X-session-20010321.tar.gz --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, people...
