I guess I have heaps of reading to do all of a sudden, I'm being sent
to Aussie for a couple of weeks and want to keep things running here
at home.
Situation:
1.) Stand alone computer, PIII - 733Mhz - 512RAM - ADSL via eth0 -
Static IP - with heaps of emails to manage along with some actual CAD
work.
Running MDK10 Official at present as this pending trip has put
off the 2005LE installation.
2.) Haven't tried remote access / control before.
3.) This one is quite simple really -- ' Help.'
Basically, where do I start, what's the best reading and can it be
done within 2 hours each night for the next four nights. ( So I might
need to stretch the hours a bit. )
What do I want to be able to do ? ~ Using a LiveCD ( Possibly
PCLinuxOS though I am downloading MandrivaMove right now ) I would use
a computer in Aussie to access my own computer here and do some actual
work on my computer in the process. Where the Aussie computer is, is
unknown, hence the idea of a LiveCD ~ I touch nothing and leave
nothing behind.
Is this possible without letting the world in ?
I am using the gateway/router firewall at present ( Linksys WAG54G ) ~
have webmin up and running ~ and a slow aged brain for now.
Anyone in the mood to get me there ?
Oh..... one other thing, the above will be of no use if I have a power
outrage and the computer doesn't restart on power back. I can
configure things software to boot auto like for now but I'm not sure
how to get the hardware to simply " PowerOn " once power is up and
running again. Any ideas anyone?
If you got this far, then thanks heaps for at least reading the lot.
Hope you can assist.
