Thanks for the help with SSH...i got it working with Putty. What's the best way to establish a remote X-Windows session? Thanks for any help provided.

By default OpenSSH-server is installed and also it's started when the system boot up, look at "netstat -putan | grep -i listen" output Ssh is listen on port 22, by default, you can change that by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config at the bottom you will see the line: Port 22 You can put instead of 22, whatever you want (look at /etc/services) And about the client, OpenSSH-client is installed by default in most of Linux distributions, you can check it out by doing "rpm -qa | grep -i openssh-clients" If you want to connect to a sshserver from a Windows machine, you can use putty, which is free.
