The easiest way(and cheapest) is to install VNC on your winders-machine(I think Mandrake installs it by default). That way you can connect both ways. That is if you're on a "trusted LAN", and doesn't need ssh. Trying to run X over an internet connection ranges as AFAIK from deadly s-l-o-w to completely dead, so you'll not be needing ssh for that either. If you'r wanting for a graphical frontend for putty on winders...give iXplorer a go. There's a shareware version and a GPL one. (the latter is downloadable at "tucows") Good luck, Harm.
