Re: HTML to PDF Generator (X-Server on i)

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 Are we talking about VNC server (I have to admin my "x" lingo is a bit 
limited)  You can run a VNC server instance and install applications to 
run in it quite easily.  I ran a GUI version of Git on the VNC server I 
had running on my i.  It was a PRPQ thing at one time.  It has been 
quite some time since I played with it.
