I have a basic LAN set up (crossover cable) and I am
wondering if I can remotely control the other computer.
By that I mean if I run a executable on the remote machine
I assume it would actuallly run on the local machine (not
sure of this though as so far I have only copied files).
For example could I burn CD's on the remote machine.
I am a bit of a novice at networking :O)

You're gonna need long arms... how are the cds going to go in the tray
unless someone is there to plop them in... ;-)

You could use one of the "VNC" versions such as RealVNC. It is
basically a terminal services software set.
