the quickest was is vnc. run vncserver on the linux box and then connect with vnc from windows. i don't know if fedora will default to a full desktop or simple one, but after you've run vncserver once you can edit .vnc/xstartup and easily have it start the full deal. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
