Hi everyone,

I've always wanted a Mac and today I received my MacBook Air! I look forward to learning about Macs and streamlining my day-to-day tasks, etc. For instance, below is something I need guidance with:

I have Dell Inspiron 1545n with Ubuntu 9.04. This laptop is connected to a wireless network I set up at home. MacBook Air will be used for travel, i.e. checking emails during my lunch-hour, and other web-based errands.

I would like to remote into my Dell Inspiron while I am away from home. Are there any Mac-based tools for this?


Thanks,
jhoom jhoom

How do you want to remote into your Linux machine? SSH? VNC? ssh is preinstalled on your Mac and here is Chicken of the VNC if you need a VNC client.
