Re: [orca-list] Orca Running on Remote Servers

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Well, I wouldn't think Orca would send anything to your Windows 
machine.  I'd think you'd need a Linux based client to start with.  The  
question is then whether or not you can use something like rdesktop or 
something like that.  I seriously doubt it though.  I can't think of a 
single instance of running across someone who was able to use x that 
way.  You might try the KVM solution Jason White suggested as well.

Good luck,
Alex M
