[mythtv-users] Not sure how to accomplish this--any tips?

Hello,

I am running Linux (Ubuntu) on the mini.  I'm mainly just looking for an especially slick way of interacting with the backend--I guess a remote desktop is just the way to go.

It occurred to me after I wrote the above that--given you mentioned
RDP--you probably run Windows on your HP mini. In that case, setting
up VNC on your backend and mini is going to be a tad easier than
installing X on the mini, or installing xrdp (which I've never used)
on the backend. The best long-term solution is installing Linux on the
mini, of course.
