I have the following setup: a Windows Vista x64 SP1 machine (my primary desktop) and a FreeBSD 7.2/amd64 running on a home NAS system that's relatively powerful (Intel Atom 330 dualcore, 2gb ram). I would like to be able to run xorg and a simple desktop on the headless FreeBSD NAS and be able to interact with it from my Vista machine. What are the steps I need to take for this? Obviously I need to build xorg and some sort of a wm (probably gnome2-lite) on the FreeBSD machine and install an xserver on the Vista machine, but then what? Any pointers to guides and such are welcome. Please keep me CCed as I am not subscribed. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov
