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?
You can use VNC, but Vista has built-in Remote Desktop Connection or RDC
software.

That's me using RDC from my laptop into an XP machine and..

...connecting to my main Vista desktop at work.
I use KDE and have the Remote desktop connection under Application > System >
Remote Access > Remote Desktop Connection.
To use RDC to connect to a Wintendo box, you type in
rdc:\\username@xxxxxxxxxxx
You can also use VNC on this tool, but I like RDC better.
