On this system, I run a vnc client. I move my mouse and the pointer on the other box moves. I type and the text shows on the other box. I look at my monitor and see what the other box has on it's monitor. What are you asking for if not that? Also, what flavor of gnu/linux are you installing on the other boxes. If you give us more info, we may be able to walk you through the setup.

I want to give them a call, let them see my desktop, perhaps let them "drive". Can VNC indeed connect to an existing running desktop? Stan

(I think I did use it once, but can't recall for sure, so don't trust my claims.) http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ --keith -- kkeller-usenet(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information

I'm not sure what you mean by that. VNC will display the users desktop on your computer, and allow you to operate it via remote control, whilst your user watches what you are doing from their computer screen. You can also watch what is happening on the screen as they operate the computer. Is that what you are looking for? Mark. -- Mark Hobley Linux User: #370818 http://markhobley.yi.org/ |
