I decided to take one of the suggestions here for what to do with my old laptop. I'm going to set it up with ssh X forwarding and connect to my much faster desktop machine. My wife wants a couple of apps I will have to install Wine for on the desktop. If I were to use the laptop as a thin client connecting to the desktop running Wine+applications, would that probably be better than installing Wine on my laptop? The laptop is 266MHz verus 1.8GHz on the desktop. NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed. Thanks. jm -- My other computer is your windows box.
