How do you do that from a WIndows box ? Do you use a character terminal (found in the "Accessories" menu .. I guess) and type in: # ssh -X mauede@<my-computer-network-address> This is the kind of connection I use to connect among Linux machines. I do not know anything about VCN ... what should they install on their Windows machine and what should I install on my Linux box to allow them to connect to my two Linux boxes from their WIndows desktops ?

Yes, they can connect via VNC or SSH

I tried to connect from my desktop PC running SuSE 9.1 to the computer in the Division I'm moving to (they all use Windows in there) .. I succeeded by using the SuSE provided Remote Desktop Connection.
Now my question is: Can people I'll be working with, who (unfortunately) use Windows XP, connect to my computer running Linux/SuSE 9.1 ? They regularly use RDC for connections among Windows computers. I've just found out it's possible to connect from Linux to Windows. I wonder if the opposite way works too, that is from Windows XP to Linux/SuSE ??? If the answer is YES then what should they use (protocol/package) and what should they know about my computer (domain, IP, etc..) ? All the computers are on a network.
Thank you in advance for your help.
