Re: VNC
Hebrew works with vnc.
I have just accessed a file using hebrew wordpad on hebrew NT4 through vnc.
It is indeed a great GNUware.
I think its going to boost linux not just in israel, but all around the
world.
Since many unix developers keep an MS os on a second PC by their desk just
for reading mail and writing docs from time to time, you could probably
put a bunch of screenless PCs in your server room and manage an automatic
free-list of PC's on your server.
Whenever someone clicks his 'MS' button on his desktop, the next free PC
is allocated to him and sent to his display. If people don't keep it open
for no reason, you can probably cut the number of your MS pc's by half.
Most people will not keep it open for no reason, since it will waste their
memory while being left iconified instead of closed. Its a large bitmap.
