I was reading a bit about Vista's Remote Desktop and got to thinking about Ubuntu Remote Desktop. I've been meanung to purchace a new KVM switch because the one I have is not working well with that machine. Anyway. a quick bit of googling solved the problem temporarilly.
The Ubuntu distro ships with a gnome-vnc server already pre-installed and on port 5900 like the default for VNC for Windows server. Took about 2 mintes to configure Ubuntu to allow it and enter a password. And another few seconds to download the free viewer from realvnc.com.and launch it and login.
Now I don't really need the KVM pretty much.
Also for road trips I can access it. but won't be all that usefull as VNC doesn't do file transfers. UltraVNC iz fer Winderz.
