They actually perform the build locally on their laptops. There are lots of pros and cons of moving to laptop-centric workstations, hence "there are a lot of reasons people might not want to do that." > > > Please note, I did not make the offload statement. But I tend to agree with you here. A build that might take several hours is probably better done on a server. VNC effectively gives you a console appearance. Essentially what the OP wants to do is up to him. We've been using VNC successfully for a while here, and it is better (IMHO) than Putty/Exceed. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id:3BC1EB90 PGP Key fingerprint: 49E2 C52A FC5A A31F 8D66 C0AF 7CEA 30FC 3BC1 EB90
