wow

Oh, wow. I just spent an hour installing and setting this up, using a RHEL server and a Mac OS X client. I did have to compile the server from source on the Red Hat box, since what with a 64-bit system I had RPM-dependency hell. However, that went easily, and it basically worked immediately as soon as I opened the firewall. Note that the system is NOT encrypted, and does not require password access to work. What I did, following the instructions on the web site, was to close down the firewall hole, then use SSH tunneling on the client to connect. This requires just a password on the client side, then everything works beautifully. Oh, and if you've got a nice Dell monitor with dual inputs, you can hook both systems up to the same monitor and use that as the M part of a KVM switch. What a fantastic bit of software!
