Glad to hear it!

Most probably ssh will be involved....when you say remote, it has a few
connotations. One is that you are remote to the machine but local on
the lan. The other is remote to the machine and remote to the network
it sits on.

Some might argue with my definitions but in the end, the speed of the
connection to the remote box is what drives how you decide to do things.

Here we use remote X at times and we use command line ssh. We use ssh
in both cases but both have there pluses and minuses.

Tell us how you intend to "remotely administer" your box and we'll try
and steer you in a good direction.
