Hi Paul (is it Paul, isnt it? Or Darac?), hi guys, Yes, Lizard is a client. It connect to Flik (ICS) with its own login, and play games like other players do. About this last suggestion, I was kind of thinking on it, but... I thought VNC (or RDP for that matter) would only let me "see" the other computer "as if" it was local. In that case, Lizard would need a DE anyway, isnt it?
