I prefer ssh........ ever since norton screwed me over when i was back on windows....... i haven't trusted symantec.

ssh for console and vnc for desktop, no need to use Linux version PCAnywhere.

Or you can use webmin

Or ssh with X-forwarding, for desktop.

Sounds like they are gearing up for M$ Linux distributions

I think this is a good thing. Oh sure, it is possible to do everything it offers without needing to pay for their proprietary software but this might signal a move into the easier administration people are always complaining Linux lacks. All the solutions listed above are great and work... but they require a technical knowledge far beyond the skills of many people who would try linux if they could find an easy way to administer it. Right now, if you are doing any administration these methods seem like nothing at all because the task of properly running a box is probably more involved then the remote connection setup... but this program might reduce the complexity of all that for the new users.

Personally, I don't see a need for it for myself. But if it helps bring others over... I'm all for it.

Verbatim! I concur completely.

Along those lines anyone interested in the new Microsoft Linux distro can find more info about it here* -- J.W.
