RE: Remote Keyboard and mouse

["Buck" <RHList towncorp net>]

Thanks,

I am a total newbie to Linux.  Last night I just setup and configured my
first successful file server.  Its my first Linux install that allows me
to do more than just surf the web. 

Command line instructions are probably all I need but I am curious if
Gnome will operate thru SSH.  While I find the graphical interface more
pleasant than CLI, I have used and am not opposed to using the command
line.

I have two ideas for this in mind.  One is to setup my server on a shelf
under my desk out of the way and my Linux learning computer can go on
the shelf above the desk with a monitor.  My other idea is to setup a
server at an office and be able to monitor, update, reconfigure, or
backup the system from over the internet.  I wouldn't mind being able to
setup the users too, but since I don't have that same access to the
workstations I would have to be present anyway, might as well get paid
for it.

Thanks again,
Buck

If you're running linux now and familiar with linux, by SSH-ing to the
server, 
you will have all the comand-line control of the server from wherver
you're 
now. If you're familiar with telnet, then SSH is a secure version of
telnet.

Provided the ssh server (sshd) is setup on the server, all you need to
do 
(from console):

$> ssh remoteserver.domain.com -l username
and then enter your password.

If ssh server is not setup on your remote server, then go look and the
redhat 
manual / customization guide on how to set up SSH server. All the RPM
needed 
is included in the distribution (openssh*), and if you're should be
installed 
by default. 

If you don't know what SSH or Telnet is, probably you should look into
reading 
for basic linux administration book. It is one of the most basic thing
you 
need to know.
