Hi all

I bravely gave my mother a linux system to use so she could email us on the 
other side of the country.  I set up just about everything for her, but I 
need to do some maintenance locally.  What are my options?  How difficult 
would it be to set up, say either a remote login or even a remote xhost so 
I could see what she's done to her a desktop?!  Has anyone tried to do 
this, and what kind of bandwidth would a remote xsession takeup?  I'd be 
happy with just telnet-ing into her machine and being able to use ftp and 
so on at the worst case, but it'd be nice to see what she's done to her 
mailbox so I could try and fix it!!

Please bear in mind asking her to do much more than switch on the computer 
and connect to our ISP would be asking a lot, she's something of a 
beginner....   ;-)
