    I expect a new DELL DeskTop computer to get here at the lab any moment.
    It will come with Windows installed by defaul. I was adviced to have a
    dual-
    boot system.
    SInce my home computer is now networked... it should be possible to have
    a
    mount point either here at the lab or at home so as I can access the
    same
    files from here as well as from home.... hopefully
    The s/w administrator told me I'll have to install VPN client on my
    home computer and VPN server on my office computer ...????
    I guess VPN is downloadable from some web site and .. how shall I
    install it ?
    Does it needs special rights ???
    How does it work ?
    Would a CVS system be the best choice instead ???

    Ideally I'd like to launch NEDIT from home to edit a file residing on
    the lab
    computer disk and lauch GVD to debug a program being run at the lab
    while at
    home and viceversa ...
    Is VPN giving me all these options ????

    May I start installing VPN on my home computer tonight or shall I wait
    for
    having VPN server here at the lab ?

    Thank you to anyone who helps.

    Maura
