Hi,
a slightly different question, I have a single monitor, keyboard and mouse. But I have two cabinets - one runs Win XP Pro on a P4 2.4GHz, 512MB RAM and the other runs Knoppix on a ;D P1-166MHz with 128MB RAM(!). How do I control both cabinets with one set of Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse?

I looked up "KVM", but you get hardware devices which are often a bit too much to spend on, especially, when there seems to be free software alternatives available. I've used UltraVNC before and on that basis, I ask: Can I setup my old Knoppix box to run UltraVNC server (or similar), and then connect to it via an ethernet/LAN card (having connected both via cable) and I then have my WinXP running normally and I can access Knoppix through the VNC window?

Is that possible? Seems not because the Knoppix box has no video for the VNC to send to the XP box.
Any suggestions?

Not sure what it means for everyone to "do their part"

Maybe that is not significant after all, but I personally believe that since those pages are very public pages, accessed more frequently by visitors (nonmembers), they should carry content that gets more people to join DC. Also, 500 votes on that page indicate that at least 1000 members have read that page :-) Peace of mind for mouser and gang :-)
