He says "even children," as if they're tough to teach. Now if you'd said "even grandparents," that would be a selling point. I've always used VNC, and have no big issues with it ... but I'm willing to admit that "cumbersome" is a reasonably accurate description. The next time I need such a thing, I'll take Myles' suggestion and look at xrdp. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ [email protected] --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
