Its just as easy to set up and provides excellent security. Also, ssh lets you do what you want in your next question between two linux boxes. All you need to do to enable sshd (the daemon that handles ssh connections), assuming you don't have a firewall, run `redhat-config-services` and add `sshd` to runlevel 3 and 5. Start it here as well so you want to use it straight away. > also is there any emulation software that works from windows & gives > me the gui of linux the 'X' screen Cygwin (www.cygwin.com) provides an X server for windows. when you install cygwin, select and the X Server items (you don't need all of them - that would take a long time to download and install, but I don't remember which ones you do need). Then from the cygwin prompt you can run `X -query linux_machine`. However, this requires gdm on the linux machine to accept remote connections, which isn't on by default. Come back here for that one though when you've succeeded in the other things!
