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

Yes, VNC works well for this.
Its not totally secure, but for the amount of time
you will be on line it should do.

You will both need broadband.
