Welcome to IWETHEY!

New How do I do this?
I have Win2000 on one box, dual-booted with Linux. What I'd LIKE to do is install Linux on another machine, and then open up Windows 2000 sessions from the first box within a window on the Linux one. Sort of a poor man's Citrix.

I don't know if that's even possible, at least cheaply. It seems to me the only real problem would be the connection, but with a 100mbs network connection on both ends there shouldn't be any real performance problems, should there?

Is this a feasible thing to do? I'd really like to be able to use Dreamweaver without switching machines...

New VNC is pretty fast..
I was using it with a 10BaseT network and it updated the screen nicely. It does tend to be a net hog though. (100BaseT ought to be better though.)

New With Windows as the server...
...the performance of the installed graphics card makes a significant difference.

This is not the case with UNIX boxes, as they use a different method of transmitting the screen.

New If its not...
Decrease the # of colors that VNC is shipping out.

I used to use it with the colors locked to 8-bit across a 56k modem (other end was on a t3) without much trouble.

New For whatever reason...
I seem to get a much better VNC experience (serving on a Windows box) if my VNC client is on my Mac, rather than my PC. Haven't done any experiments to find out why though - I wouldn't have thought changing clients would have made much difference. Both clients were on a 100Mbps network, the PC client was 700MHz whereas the Mac is 500. Maybe I'm just caught up in the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field...
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
