How to connect to another computer

mborn's picture

Assalam Alikum,

Here it goes: I have two boxes running CentOS 4.3. One at home and the other at work. I want to be ablet to communicate with the one at home from mine at work. I don't know how to do it. I am not interested in using clients like VNC. I want to be able to have a full control over my home box through the console, and be able to be root, too.

Any help will be appreciated.
