Hello. I've got boxes at home running Kubuntu and Ubuntu 8.04.1 . I've got a daytime use laptop running WinXP.
I'm interested in a software product that will allow me to: i) Access files and run applications remotely on the 'buntu boxes, without a considerable reciprocal risk back to the laptop. ii) Play (creative-commons licensed) MP3's from that linux box on other computers which are in the house -- I don't need to go remotely. iii) Use by a package management system on the linux side and is very cheap on the WinXP side. iv) Allows use of one password on the WinXP software, no matter how complex, across multiple boot-sessions of the linux box. I've done some reading and have an idea that TightVNC might be what I want. If it can do all these things, I'm sure I be able to get what I want out of it. One quick experiement a month ago with some built-in thingy on Ubuntu did NOT allow # iv). thanks. -- Greg M.
