Heya,
At the current moment we have 11 PCS/Laptops in the house and its really hard managing them all, as im usually the one who has to fix problems, and carry out the usual maintinence.
I'm really looking into setting up a network, which will allow me to remotely control all of the PCS on the network via a central PC, aswell as turning them off - It'd also be nice to put restrictions in place on certain things - (brothers downloading crap, then expecting me to sort out the viruses they've downloaded with it)
I don't want anything near as intrusive as the ones you get at school, just something to make my life easier.
