Dean,
I've not (yet) used it, but I believe VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is
what you want...
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
It is part of the RH linux distros...
[bigfish at kippered bigfish]$ apropos vnc
Xvnc (1) - a VNC server
vncconnect (1) - connect a VNC server to a VNC viewer
vncpasswd (1) - set password for VNC server
vncserver (1) - start a VNC server application
vncviewer (1) - VNC client application
FWIW, my web server is an ancient Pentium Pro-S (SMP with matched CPUs w/512
KB cache) w/256Mb RAM running RH7.3 and Apache 1.3.27. It does yeoman's
duty, though it also has a relatively light load...
http://herring.org/usage/
Availability > 99% (as long as PGE isn't mucking about)...
4:05pm up 102 days, 9:15, 10 users, load average: 0.28, 0.38, 0.39
You don't need a lot of beef for linux (although I can't speak to what
streaming video may require).
cheers,
Sandy
