Im fairly new to both linux and Xen and am trying to display gui interfaces for my guest OSs in a similar fashion to this: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/screenshots/index.html. I have set up the two guests fairly basically, only problem is that i have never really used VNC before and when i try and connect to my guests using it i just get a terminal console in the VNC window so im obviously missing something major. Any hints or tips would be much appreciated. btw dom0 and both guests are running Fedora5 just for simplicity while i learn. Thanks --------------------------------- Yahoo!

But okay, it makes sense for login.

FreeNX is included in many distos, and No Machine now have a free NX Server with the numder of sessions limited (like Windows Terminal Services in Administrative mode.) http://www.nomachine.com HTH, Mark -- _________________________________________________________ A Message From...
