On my network there are two machines: baby and blossom. baby has a 900 |
| 2 |
megahertz processor with 256MB RAM. blossom has a 200 megahertz |
| 3 |
processor with 128 RAM. Right now baby has Gentoo 2005.0 and blossom is |
| 4 |
running Red Hat 9. I would like to set up something where my wife can |
| 5 |
log in on blossom (it's my wife's computer) and it connects blossom to |
| 6 |
baby (via the network) I want blossom to act as a dumb terminal, with |
| 7 |
all requests made on blossom going to baby. My wife prefers GNOME, but |
| 8 |
it runs so slow on blossom (that's why she wanted RH9) I'm pretty sure |
| 9 |
there's a way to do this, but I don't know how to start. I know I could |
| 10 |
use Google, but I don't know how to phrase my query. I know that all |
| 11 |
this could be accomplished with ssh, but is there a simpler way? |

Bonus question: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
blossom has a TV card. I'd like to know (if it's possible) how to |
| 17 |
access blossom's TV card from baby. If it matters here's the output |
| 18 |
from running lspci on blossom. |
