If you use either GNOME or KDE, you can use the stock VNC clients that are provided. In GNOME, it is Applications/Internet/Remote Desktop Viewer.
If your own computer ('server') runs GNOME, you can enable sharing at System/Preferences/Remote Desktop and you can configure for read-only access. One issue to consider is to force low bandwidth access to the VNC server. I think that the software will pick automatically the highest quality settings (due to LAN), which may degrade performance. If you can force lower quality, it will appear better. Simos On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 3:55 PM, Joel Feiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You will probably want to use VNC.
