TDMWeb 07-02-2002, 10:31 AM If you mean can you log onto a Linux server's command line from a Windows PC, then yes -- use SSH, I'd recommend Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) which is free and very good. If you mean can you log on as an X terminal (full graphics), that's more complicated (and not really a web thing) but yes again (eg http://www.x-securepro.com/). Or did you mean something totally different :D ? matt2kjones 07-02-2002, 10:43 AM i mean something totally different lol sorry i explained it wrong. Can you set linux up as a file server, then connect windows 2k pro clients to it?
