I've noticed that VNC access to a linux machine is a lot faster than VNC access to a windows machine. I have not tried W2K though.

I had been planning to hook my Dell laptop up to my little network, and access Linux via Win2k on it. However, I was thinking... maybe I should do the otherway around, and access Windows via Linux (that means I don't have to do another Windows install!). However I thought I'd pose a few questions to figure out which way is best: 1.) Does VNC work at a decent speed when accessing Win2k via Linux? 2.) Is it very difficult to get a Dell Inspiron 5000e (16 Rage Mobility video, ESS Maestro 2e Sound, etc.) to run on SuSE Linux 7.0 (or if Lenz or another SuSE employee who has 7.1 could say how it works on that, even better...). Best, Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
