But windows was designed as a single-user, non-networked OS

Without getting off topic here I just want to say that this is flat wrong. Save the windows bashing for somewhere else. Fact is, majority of people are more familiar with how to network windows clients then they are any Unix platform.

bzzzzt. you miss. I (and anyone else) will windows bash anytime we damn well please. It's a bad OS teamed with a horrible philosiphy and exemplary marketing. He commented on it's DESIGN, not it's implementation. It was designed as a single user, non networked operating system. No amount of punditry will change that. Ever. Even for NT. If XP is ground-up why do we still have the kludges?

As far as what the OP wants to do, I believe he wants PT to "live" on the old machine (and maybe it'll datamine with some gnome accounts) and then he can access the info on his new machine. His new machine will run his GT++ or PV and get it's information from the PT machine. The PT machine will get hand histories from the current playing session on the "new" machine.

AFAIK, PT is completely capable of doing this all on it's own, it's one of the reasons he will give you two different license codes. I haven't had the need for it so I've never looked into it but it should be there. Hit the manual, hit the forums, I'm pretty sure you can just do this.

And yeah, just use VNC for when you have to sit at the "new" machine and control the "old" machine.
