VNC starts a new X session in *nix. I believe there are versions of VNC which will do what you want, i.e. behave the way the Windows version does -- shared desktop, etc. However, maybe someone else can tell you how to do it...

But now I get something strange: I don't see the exact same thing as I see on the Linux machine itself: it's a different GUi window. For example instead of the regular browser symbol on the bottom right side I see a horse symbol. It's like I opened another GUI window in parallel to the first one - and this is not what I ment to do. (I wanted to tae control over the active window). Can someone explain me what was my mistake and how can I fix it? >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of YigalB >Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 11:35 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: Starting the server in Fedora > >>Ahh...
