</div></div>Yeah, but I wonder if you could cobble up something with screen and ssh to<br>
have a similar functionality.<br></blockquote><div><br>Probably. But I use one VNC setup for remote control of the Myth session and a second to provide a persistent remote desktop. I'm sure there are other ways to get all this working but VNC is relatively easy, I can use it for both cases, and I have clients for Windows, Linux and my iPhone (and another plus is that I can use the same clients to control Windows machines). VNC has security issues so I don't use for external access, but it works pretty well locally.<br>
