I apologize for not making my scenario more specific. I already run VNC 
servers on the boxes in my computer labs, and use VNCon on a WinXP Pro 
box to log on to them. This is much faster than physically going from 
machine to machine. VNCon makes it easy to keep the IP addresses and 
name in a list that I can use to select the specific machine I want to 
connect to.

I was just wondering if there was a Linux-based solution for this. Yes, 
I could use something like xvncviewer, but this would require me to 
manually enter the machine's address each time I wanted to connect. This 
gets cumbersome when I only have about 30 minutes between groups to log 
on 56 workstations and prepare them for a class.

It would not be the end of the world if I didn't find one. It would just 
be cool to be able to do this from my Debian box; instead of my XP  box. 
Unfortunately, I am not a coding Jedi, or I would just create one myself.

On a side note, I really appreciate SATLUG letting me lurk on the 
mailing list. I learn a bit by reading the posts. Thanx to all for a 
friendly mailing list.
