Could you expand on this please???
When I'm sitting in front of my XP machine, I would most definitely like to use my SuSE desktop, as if I were on it. Is this what your saying is possible?
And this is possible in reverse (from SuSE to XP)?

Yeap, I tought you might not have know about it...
Okay, there are several ways of doing this, which one you use depends on several things:
On the XP machine, you are going to need a VNC client. There are many, but I suggest you get the Free version from http://www.realvnc.com .
When you install it on the Windows machine select Install as server, and give it a password.
On the linux enter "vncviewer <ip of xp machine>:0" in a commandline enter the password of the VNC server installation, and Voila! you got the XP desktop on your linux machine....
[snip (the Windows to Linux remote connection)] Actually there is a much simplier solution (at least in 9.3 and 10) to connect to your Windows XP Pro desktop from SuSE: - Enable the remote connection in Windows XP (Control Panel -> System -> Remote -> Remote Desktop -> Allow users to connect remotely to this computer) - Use krdc in SuSE(System -> Remote Connection -> krdc) to connect to your Window XP desktop Hope it helps, Dmitry
I'm sure you'll be back for more....
Till then, Happy Remoting....
