[thelist] Remote Desktop Client on XP Home?

[David Siedband]

I would recommend RealVNC on the windows machine.  I've set this up for 
a few people in my family who I help with things remotely.  On the mac, 
you may also want to have a look at VNCthing.  I've been using that 
client for a while and have been pleased with it.  I assume you want to 
do this to test how your layouts present in the windows browsers.  I 
did this for a while, but eventually went back to using the windows 
machine directly because I didn't like the lag of VNC on the local 
network...
