Guest pleira Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 I just think of two possibilities rigth now to manage a remote computer: Your friend can run the ssh daemon (Secure Shell). Then, from your computer use the command "ssh -l root hostname" where hostname again is the address of the remote computer. As usual, you need to have a network connection between the two computers.

zero0w Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 Yeah how to setup a P2P connection between two Linux system? I always wondered. With Windows 98 setting two systems to the same workgroup will do the job easily, but what about Linux - Mandrake in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SDMF Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 You could also try VNC if you want graphical access, I believe it is included with the 9.0 ISOs. I personally run the SSH daemon on my machine, and to connect I run either SSH from another linux machine, or use PuTTY from a windows machine.

theYinYeti Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 The best way to connect to a Linux machine with text-interface is ssh. The best way to connect to a Linux machine with GUI-interface is X-tunneling through ssh. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
