would be interested in contacting Paul about his proposal.

I've tried the demo out using the Gnome desktop under Fedora Core 3 and

it's
a really slick bit of work.



I can doo this all for free.. I just export my xsession from one linux
machine to another linux machine.


Yeah, I know about that except I don't have another Linux box to use.


I can see no advantage to running an exported xsession from a *nix machine
to a windows desktop.


Except when that is all you have access to use. I have a company laptop,
which I can't install Linux on, and is setup for Win 2K so I don't have much
choice. I'm limited in what I can carry out in the field so I don't have the
option to get another laptop, which the company won't install their software
on for me to use. And I'm not lugging around two laptops. Same goes for my
office desktop computer too, only company approved major software apps,
small utilities they don't mind so much.
