.............. > Karl @ Copy King PN What did I say to provoke that question? As a matter of fact I run both Win and Linux at home, and consult for a couple of all-Windows organizations. I find VNC to be an elegant solution to the problem of getting a Windows desktop on Linux and vv. I run the Win machines behind a Linux firewall/NAT/router so they are hidden from Internet. Not *absolutely* safe but practically safe... But I see no reason to put a Windows machine idirectly on-line in ordinary circumstances. When I do I accept the risk.
