Hi.

"Probably" is a very strong word. ;)

I would have loved to use something besides VNC, but there is really  
only one other alternative called DART, which seems to be a horribly  
proprietary piece of software that no self respecting sysadmin would  
want to use.

I'm currently exploring a way to switch over to some kind of terminal  
sharing over SSH instead, but no luck for now. VNC was a quick and  
easy. :(
