Here's another pie-in-the-sky request.

Is there some kind of way I can control the frontend machine through the
network?



A simple solution might be to use a VNC server on the frontend machine. There is something by the name of xVNC that will tie vnc into X so that you control what's going on on the screen.

I found this handy to control my xbox before I spliced up the USB
cables / got the remote working.


You've gotta love a response that starts with "A simple solution..." :) This was a great idea, and led me to think of another one... synergy (synergy.sf.net)! I've tried it once, before I had my second monitor, and it was pretty good, this would just be perfect.

Basically it's a network-enabled cross-platform KVM. I'll set it up so I just slide the mouse off the top of the screen and it will move over to the Myth frontend.

Thanks for the idea!
