Hello,
My 88 years old mother just bough a new computer. On the old one, she used openSUSE, but on the new she will use Vista (she needs to play some sort of power point files that I simply can't make play music on opensuse, even in wine - given her age, I can't ask her too much)
I know little about vista, but there is some sort of "remote admin"
is this feature usable from my own openSUSE? (we are not in the same town) I installed openSUSE primarily to be able to do remote admin :-()
is that VNC?
You can use VNC, but Vista has built-in Remote Desktop Connection or RDC software.
What has to be done in order to get past a firewall on either the controlled or controller system?

That's me using RDC from my laptop into an XP machine and..

...connecting to my main Vista desktop at work.
I use KDE and have the Remote desktop connection under Application > System > Remote Access > Remote Desktop Connection.
To use RDC to connect to a Wintendo box, you type in
rdc:\\username@ip.ad.re.ss
You can also use VNC on this tool, but I like RDC better.
