I gave to the son of friends who live a considerable distance away an
old laptop with Damn Small Linux installed. I installed the same
distribution on another old laptop which I have, so that I could try to
help him if problems arose. We have been able to solve some problems
that way, but it's a slow process, with me doing things on my laptop,
then emailing instructions to him.
I remember working in the past at workplaces big enough to have their
own hurt desks and having my computer taken over by someone else in an
attempt to solve some problem I had. That's made me wonder what the
equivalent Linux software is. I wouldn't have to run that software on my
DSL laptop, but could run it on my Fedora desktop, taking over the other
DSL laptop over the Internet.
I'd be very grateful if someone could recommend any such software, just
to get me started.
