There's one other tool, x11vnc on debian, which does almost the same thing; You run it as an app on someones x session and it allows VNC clients to connect. It means you need to have your user always logged in and have x11vnc running though. Maybe suitable for a quick hack but I'd recommend GNOME 2.8 for real rockin' remote desktops. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
