remote access

[us11csalyer]

Is there any program that I can use to remote access other PC that are running xp,vista,windows7? I have five pcs in my house and always watched what the kids are doing using a remote access program when I was running windows 7. I would just install linux on their pcs and be done with this but they can't catch onto linux. So they have access to xp and vista.

You could install a VNC server on the windows computers and connect to them from Linux using the IP address.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. VNC won't open any ports for hackers will it?

You can tunnel VNC through SSH, here's how:
