I have had no problems with this since I first tried it in 8.1 (I
think). I simply select "Desktop Sharing" from the SuSE KDE menu, it
allows me to do an invitation to a host to connect to 192.168.10:0 and
gives me a password to use on this machine, plus enable me to use
keyboard and mouse. I came over to this machine (192.168.10.3) and
selected "Remote Desktop connection", picked 192.168.10.1:0 and the
password. So I'm sending this using the Mandrake box as keyboard and screen.
Currently the two boxes are SuSE 9.0 and Mandrake 9.1, but I've done
this on 8.2 also, right here in my shack.
Everything needed was installed by default on both Mandrake and SuSE builds.
Regards
Sid.
