I access my home system frequently. For example right now I'm at work and getting my email from an IMAP server on my main home computer. To get there, I run OpenVPN, which gets me through my firewall and to all the resources on my home network. I also have SSH available, should I choose to go that way.
If I'm out somewhere with my laptop I just log in and download my mail directly from the server. That's why I turn off my desktop when I'm going to be gone long enough to need to do my e-mail [ If I'm not going to be there for any length of time why give it the wear and tear? ] I have all the necessary "resources" I need right on my laptop. My needs are VERY simple. Genealogy program, E-mail, Browser, and such addons as PDF viewers. In some certain rare cases I might want to watch a DVD or listen to a CD so I need programs for that. That's about it. I don't "work" in a place that I need presentation stuff or any of the more high powered stuff. I don't have any need to swap files from home to work and back again. Just consider me the average home computer user. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
