[plug] virtualization remote access

[Tim]

Virtualbox has this functionality built in. You enable the RDP (Remote
Desktop Protocol) server in Virtualbox. It's under the Display tab in
the virtual machine settings, as "Remote Desktop". Null authentication
is probably fine for a LAN as long as the machine isn't visible from
the internet (i.e. firewall/router inbetween).
Then in windows, you use tsclient (Terminal Services Client) or the
Remote Desktop client that comes with windows, chuck in the ip address
and bingo, you are at the windows machine!
