I am sure this is pretty basic stuff, but it is not something I have ever done.
Situation is this.
My Sister in law is setting up as a photographer. Her and her boyfriend have a PC each, neither of which is particularly powerful, but will just about run Photoshop and allow her to manipulate an image. They only have room for one monitor etc, so they have a spare box sitting around.
I suggested that for her batch tasks (converting RAW to JPEG, resizing etc) she use the spare box.
So what is the best solution to do this?
The boxes will be physically next to each other, connected to a router.
She will want to be able to start processes and programs on the 'slave' from the 'master'
I know that this will probably involve some sort of VNC program, but having never done this some sort of guidance would be appreciated. Both are running XP
