In any case I would probably use a 'native' remote access method (freenx/NX for linux, VNC or remote desktop for windows) instead of the client console once everything is installed. Or for occasional use, VMware player is OK - again using native remote access methods since it ties the client console to the host. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
