UNIX was the first OS that allowed for "slave" or "dumb" terminals to run applications ON the server from remote. Telnet, SSH and the likes are still the most stable means to deal with any type of remote access. Everything else is based loosely on it. I only use VNC when I absolutely have to. There are times, though, that I can't be bothered to turn around in my seat to see what the wife-unit is doing, so I fire up VNC to "assist" her...or for the Mac...I can't be bothered to move my chair the 1.5 meter distance to the Mac...(g)...but in the instance of client support, it's helpful to SHOW them this that or the other thing to get things "working" - otherwise, on the linux machines I support, telnet and ssh are great...and on the Win2k/XP machines, I always make sure I have the telnet services running...so that I can slip in the back door and do what I have to do without bothering the "operator" of the workstation...but sometimes they like to see the "magic" of remote control...go figure... -- Tue Jan 7 09:55:01 EST 2003 9:55am up 2 days, 13:03, 6 users, load average: 0.55, 0.49, 0.48 kuhn media australia - kma.0catch.com ------------------------------------- stephen kuhn - katherine kuhn - berkeley, nsw, au email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: 5483808 - mobile: 0410-728-389 -PC/Mac/Linux/Consulting/eMarketing- ------------------------------------ * linux user: 267497 * rh 7.3+ * ------------------------------------ Kitchen activity is highlighted.
