TeamViewer is free, and works well for remote desktop support:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeamViewer
You can also transfer files within a TeamViewer session.
I'm running it on slacko-PAE-5.5:
TeamViewer: 7.0.9377
I use it to support someone with a PC on Win 7.

Re: closing jwm windows [solved]
@Tote: It doesn't look like this "feature" can be disabled. Thanks for the reply.
@anikin: Thanks for pointing out that thread. I would have gone through life thinking it was a bug. Now I know it's a "feature".

closing jwm windows [solved]
EDIT: This is a feature, not a bug! Thanks to anikin for pointing out the thread where this has been discussed. I don't like this feature, but the change in behavior is too trivial to gripe about. A trivial issue with slacko5.5-PAE (no user changes made after bootup), not seen in slacko5.4-PAE: When...

slacko5.5-PAE
I wasn't monitoring the Bugs forum, so I missed the announcement of Slacko5.5 on March 4th Seems there should be an announcement in the Users forum. Anyway, I'm posting this from my 1998 500MHz P-III (Katmai) Dell Optiplex GX1 (768MB RAM), running Slacko5.5-PAE. I don't find a problem with PAE, and ...

the package manager lists all programs contained in the separate 'devx.sfs' as installed, whether the actual devx is installed or not. the devx contains python, hence it showing as installed in the ppm. @666philb: Thanks for this. I don't understand the thinking behind the PPM's design. It does not...

PPM and Python (in slacko-5.4)
Running slacko-5.4 PAE (3.4.17-PAE), no modifications or user installed packages. I wanted to learn about Puppy Package Manager, so ran this: /usr/local/petget/pkg_chooser.sh From the GUI, I searched for Python, selecting the slackware-14.0 repository. To my surprise, it showed Python already instal...

I've been running the PAE version for several days (file slacko-5.4-opera-PAE.iso). Other than installing firefox, this has been a hassle free change from the non-PAE version of slacko-5.4. I used to download files to hard drive, but now treat RAM as a RAMDISK. It's nice to have access to all the RA...

If it's true that shutdownconfig is only about saving session data, what follows is the wrong approach. As you said, just don't call shutdownconfig. But if there is any other cleanup in shutdowconfig, then this could be useful and have fewest side effects: Tested, and this works the way I like it (i...

commandline package removal
Say I want to remove all trace of opera (or any unwanted app). Is there a commandline procedure for doing this? I could try to 'find' all relevant files, but might miss some. Maybe the package manager used to install this could tell me where all the files are located. I avoid package managers, since...

keyboard shortcut for jwm showdesktop [solved]
.jwm-tray has this: <TrayButton popup="Show Desktop" icon="mini-desktop.xpm">showdesktop</TrayButton> This allows you to minimize all windows and showdesktop by clicking the icon. Apparently, showdesktop is not a command. I'd like to do this without needing the mouse. Is there a ...
