Got past the Mint issue (upgraded to 17.1). Downloaded the server onto that machine, installed the client on my Windows machine. Brought up the interface the latter and - hate to sound like a dummy but...
Now what?
The instructions for installing are good. But at this point I'm staring at the client interface (I did set the host address and login name) and the cursor is blinking at me in the middle of the big blue square area next to the word "Session".
Flame away, but what am I supposed to do now?
Thanks,
