i'd use VNC. the windows vnc client handled fullscreen remote desktop usage really well last time i had to use windows as a front-end. which was 7 years ago. i can't imagine it's become less capable in the interim =) i'd recommend tightvnc over realvnc, but both are freely downloadable. and there may be an even fancier one that i don't know about. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
