[ale] remote access to Windows box

[Allan Neal]

The best option I have found is to enable Remote Desktop.  The client is built
into windows XP and latter and the server is part of the XP Pro or + install.
Unfortunatly XP Home doesn't have the Server as something that can be enabled.
In this case I use VNC.

There are clients for Linus for both as well.
