Can someone please tell me how i can remote control my machine? Not a step by step thing (unless you want it  Wink) but tell me where to go and start so i can control this 50km away on my windows machine.

*Sigh* I cant help thinking of somebody trying to control a nuclear power plant, with a Fisher Price activity table. Tongue


Oh well, nevermind. Firstly you'll need either an internet conection each end, or 50 km of network cable. Cheesy If you are happy to just use a command line for basic control, then you could just telnet to the machine using any old terminal emulator on Fish... er windoze. Otherwise just use a VNC client / server. I haven't installed Linuxcoin yet, so I dont know what VNC software it comes packaged with, but it should have a software installer like synaptic, which makes installing almost anything a piece of cake. Just type VNC into its search window and look for a server on the linux end then install a client on the windows machine and just follow the instructions in the help/documentation for each of them. The VNC will give you full desktop access once you have it working.

Good luck with that.
