OK... I'll leave the XP thing al0wned.



Understood...  It was a quick (and dirty) solution.




How was that any quicker than the same thing running on Linux?
(hint:  XP install time on P4/1.6Ghz/512MB -> ~2 hours
RH8.0 install time on same machine -> ~30 minutes)




As to the linux solution, why would you bother with VNC
rather than just ssh.  Pull the libpcap file back to a local
desktop for analysis in
ethereal.



SSH works, but it's sometimes nice to have a persistent session that I
can pick back up later (or from a different PC).




That's what screen is for. :-)
