Exclamation Remote Desktop Server in FC5??

(: Newbiiiieeeeee To Fedora Here

Very dumb question-

I have and old dell pc which i just finished installing FC5. I also have a few winxp computers which allow me to Remote Desktop into my office server to do work/etc.

So my questions is...can I "Remote Desktop" into the my new fedora box?

any suggestion or links to "HOW-TO" is more than welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Several ways.
VNC
TightVNC
FreeNX
ssh in using the -Y option to display gui apps locally from the remote machine.

Here is one Redhat CLone related for VNC

No, you will have to install a VNC client on your Windows machine in order to gain access to your Linux box.
