Alright.. Here's the deal.. I want to be able to access my linux box from my xp box and be able to have total control. Reason being I like the stability of linux to run servers off and such, but.. I don't have another monitor for the nix box and I don't feel like switching monitors from tower to tower. And I don't have the money for a monitor or a monitor switch

If anyone could help me set that up I'd appreciate it and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to do this

Thanks!

You could set up a VNC server up on Damn Small Linux and then use a VNC viewer on the XP machine. < http://www.realvnc.com >
