Yeah, well, that's one of the reasons, why VNC or one of its derivatives is not an option. I am dealing with non-tech-savvy people and they need a simple, fool-proof solution to just "see my screen". Tools like TeamViewer, Skype, WebEx, GoToMeeting, etc. are options, but if I ask someone: "I would like to show you something. Could you please send me your public SSH key, so you can establish a SSH tunnel between... bla bla...". I loose this guys at the words "could you please send me" and a key is something you need to physically enter your home and a tunnel has something to do with trains ;-) I think I hoped that someone says, "Try ABC. That's exactly like TeamViewer but open source, licensed under GPL and they are looking for some volunteers to support them in XYZ." *dreaming* Thanks everyone! I have appreciated all your comments/suggestions. Cheers Michael _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
