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.
