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?

thanks
jdd

You should be able to setup RDP on Vista and use rdestop on openSUSE
for remote admin. That's one of the ways I remote admin my users XP
PCs at work. The other is to install uklravnc on the windows PC and
use KRDC or a web browser to remote admin.

Please don't top-post. I fixed it for you on this one.
