There are two X-clients for Win. You will find them at 1) www.microimages.com This is a free Win95/NT server. I like it very much. 2) www.orl.com/vnc This server is supposed to be good for NT and OK for 95. I have not tried it yet. Hope this helps M. K. Pai [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 5

Any thoughts on clients-server systems

Hi, I am looking for ideas and solutions on implementing some client-server system in my lab. What I mean is I want to add Debian boxes and not have to install all the packages. I want to have one or two machines with all the packages and have other machines load the binaries from those machines.
