connecting a Win 11 computer to a Linux computer

[bruce]

hi bill.

if i may, a few questions.  when u say communication, what do u mean?

are u looking to be able to actually run commands on the Linux box?  are
you looking at running actual Linux apps/gui?

are you looking to transfer files between the boxes?

let me know !

how familiar are you with ssh, remotely logging into boxes.

thanks
