[wellylug] April Meeting

[Klenner, Colin]

Hi,

Both solutions sound pretty good. The first step will be to get the Linux
machine up and going - at the next meet hopefully, and then I can work on
this. Obviously I will need some guidance on setting it up so your help
would be most appreciated - probably by the group as well.

See you then.
Colin

Yes, I know of a couple, Xmanager 1.3.8 is really good. It runs on windows 
and is basically an X server for windows. I've found that the proformance
on 
it is great. Another option is something like VNC (which is free)

linuxconf-web has something about enabling remote administration via http. 
Could look into it if you are keen. also, package webmin has some stuff
about 
admin via http, port 10,000

See you guys at the meeting :-)
Cheers
