I have a linux firewall/gateway machine set up to protect both my parents Windows XP systems (sorry, can't convert them now) and I have things arranged such that I can run VNC over SSH to the gateway, then run vncviewer on the gateway and view my parents desktops. This works out very well if you run a 1280x1024 desktop, and the windows boxes happen to be at 1024x768. Make the VNC desktop size on the gateway 1152x864 and you get Windows in a window on your desktop. Neat and reasonably fast on a cable modem connection. -- Chris Kloiber
