[olug] Remote Desktop

[Kelly Williams]

Sorry must have been really tired when I read your email. I have games 
on the server. I used a ubuntu live disk to install then I install samba 
and all the little things i needed. It has 3 computers connect to it for 
file sharing and then soon the forth one will be connected and that will 
be for the personal DVR to connect to my TV so I can listen and watch 
potcast videos and other things.
