Yeah, I'd like to find a simple solution for this also. Currently I |
| 22 |
use VNC for Linux remote support. For Windows remote I run VMWare/Win |
| 23 |
XP and run Go2Meeting. It would be great to do that all from my KDE |
| 24 |
desktop without depending on XP. Go2Meeting is a paid subscription |
| 25 |
which I use for trading so it's not a good solution for others. |
