    Sorry for putting it so bluntly but I was trying to get a message 
across.

    Hijacking others threads unfortunately results in 2 things happening:

1. Posters getting confused.
2. Mailman getting confused and continuing the existing thread of 
discussion off the original thread -- which is harder to navigate in the 
archives.

    As for remote access tools, look into nomachinex, X11 forwarding and 
VNC. There's a variety of discussion in the archives (last discussion on 
this topic was back in either April or May I think..).

    Cheers and best of luck,
