I just set up scripts on my Mom's computer (WinXP) and my Dad's (Mepis),
so both of them can call when there's any problem to let me know
there's a problem, then click the icon and they'll get a RealVNC
connection so I can work on their system. Even though they don't live
far away, it saves a LOT of time.
