[CLUE-Tech] Lose FAT Now

[David L. Willson]

Lynn, Phil, and anyone else that may want a "Lose FAT Now" T-shirt,

Color is not available because our design includes white and our vendor has
no way to print white.

I have ordered two shirts done as an exploratory, and will post pictures of
them on my server as soon as I get them, so you can decide whether and what
to order.

Lynn and Phil: I have your deposits.  Do you want me to send them back or
wait til you see the pics?

David Willson

In relation to this, I started messing with running vnc on my linux box
yesterday, but I can't figure out how to get it to use the desktop that's
already up and running, that way once I get to the box, I can continue doing
whatever I was doing right on that screen.  Every time I run vncserver, it
starts up a new X session.
I hope that made sense.

Linux can be run "Headless" as you said.  You can telnet/ssh into the
other boxes and get full command line functionality.  In addition to
this, you can also fire up Xwindows applications if you're currently in
Xwindows by opening an Xterm, ssh/connect into the other machine, and
run whatever X application.

VNC can also help you do this.  Check the man pages for vncconnect,
vncpasswd,  vncserver, and  vncviewer.  I would strongly urge anyone not
to run VNC on a firewall machine though.

I hope I've been able to answer your question.

Regards,

David

I recently picked up a newer Tyan Tomcat motherboard, and it includes BIOS
support for serial console...  It's kind of neat to telnet to a machine,
start up a terminal program, and watch both the terminal emulator and the
monitor display the BIOS setup screens while you're modifying them
via a serial connection.

Now if only they'd wake up and have the same sort of ability via
ethernet...
