Actually my remote support for my mother is by email and occasional visits. She has a bog-standard Asus EEE, which has very little in its repository and certainly not remote connection support. I know I could install VNC or some such through other means, (I've added software to one of these machines before), but it's quite a hassle and she has very few issues, so I've never bothered. (She is a 'worrier' and any time I 'fiddle' with her computer she thinks that I'm going to break it.) The main 'support request' I get from her is to release mail erroneously caught by the mailserver's spam trap. -- Terry Coles 64 bit computing with Kubuntu Linux -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, second Tuesday 2012-01-10 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
