Question 2:

What is the Linux equivalent to the DOS command DIR?

I use "ls" with a switch, like "ls -la" will list out everything in the directory, including the permissions and all. Some distros have included "dir" but it's more of a pain than ls. All the switches can be found using the man command as AMDave laid out above.

On my Windows XP and 2000 systems I use LogMeIn so that I can check their status remotely - either from the other side of my office or the world (it worked perfectly when I was in Florida last year).

I've checked out the LogMeIn web site and they don't have a Linux version of LogMeIn yet. What can I use or run on my Ubuntu 7.04 box so I can check on it from my Win XP Pro SP2 boxen?

It´s even easier om WCG!

First you install Linux, then u go to www.worldcommunitygrid.org and register, then you download the Linux program and then it should be running!

Easy as a...

[Bubben]

You can either set up a DynamicDNS to get you back to your linux box and access your VNC interface
OR
Use LogMeIn to get into your Win box and VNC to the linux box from there.

There is another pay-to-use product called gotomypc which works like logmein and includes a linux install.

I use Dave's 2nd option, Logmein to my main compy, and VNC across to any machine inside my network.

I have to do that because I can only portforward to 1 machine (mine).

Bubben, you miss-read Vaughans post. He wants to remote connect to a linux box .

Thanks Ototero and Dave. So I install vnc server on the Ubuntu box and use vnc viewer on my Windows box?
