gitso is good, as is x11vnc --connect <ip address of supporter> where the supporter is running a listening VNC viewer. The good thing about doing it this way is that the supportee can be on a dynamic IP address (or even if it is static they have no idea what their address is or how to set up an inbound connection which amounts to the same thing) You just map port 5500 to your PC on your firewall and run a listening VNC viewer. The supportee has no black magic to do on their router. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
