I have a spare PC (my old work PC) that I'd like to set up downstairs so that we can log in to check email etc. while the other person's working on the main PC. To keep configs etc. as easy as possible, I'd like to log into the main PC from the spare PC, using the userid and home dir from the main machine, but to run all apps etc. on the spare PC (a smart terminal, I guess).

Is this easy to set up using SUSE 8.2 on both machines? How should I go about it? Network is already done - it's the logging in and setting up the session that I don't know about.

Run vncserver on the main PC and vncviewer on the spare. See http://www.realvnc.com/ for more info but the software is on the CDs. Damian
