: He's now trying to do the same with Linux, specifically RH 8. Is this
: possible and if so, how?

 If you're talking about connecting to an X session on a Linux machine from ?indows, 
it can be done.. I'm sure
that Hummingbird program would do it.. And X R6 has that functionality in it already.. 
I picked up a piece of
software at LinuxWorld a couple years back that runs an X server on ?indows called 
X-Win32.. It's super easy
to setup and worked like a champ.. The copy I tried is commercial and pretty spendy, 
but I'm sure there are
others out there.. I guess you might even be able to work something with ssh and X 
forwarding possibly..
Haven't tried that.. I also have some copies of Tarantella application server that 
runs on Linux and lets you
connect to the Linux system using a web browser from any computer or a native client 
program on ?indows.. It's
pretty cool..

Anyway, if it helps, here are some links:
