I see everyone's point about acrobat reader - but I run 50+ machines of Cent 4.5 and run remote desktops on all of them - I think the latest (8.*) version of Adobe Acrobat is miles and miles better than the bloated pig we used to have to use. I don't have issues with it remotely either. I find it quick and stable. (but I tend to only view text based reports) I haven't used evince on my setup but I have used kpdf remotely with no issues as well. -Peter -Cardiff - UK On 14/03/2008, Niki Kovacs <contact@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > William L.
