[RHCE] Can we do the RHCE thing entirely on-line?

[Steven Holton]

If we can get an internet-accessible host running a shared VNCserver,
we should all be able to connect to it and see anything demo'ed
using vnc-client or the java/web version.  It would only need to host
the server; no other access to the host would be needed.

Some other 'sacrifical host" can send an x-terminal to the VNC
server for all to view.  So (for example) to demo Apache configuration,
I'd setup Apache on my home system, export a terminal to the VNC server,
and go through the setup/config in that terminal with the rest of the
Internet watching over my shoulder.

For things (like installs) where a view of the console is a requirement,
a BOCHS session can be exported to the remote display as well,
although this is ...S..L..O..W...

I know this works in a high-bandwidth, no firewall lab.
What I don't know is if there will be any problems porting this
into a dial-up, firewalled, and security aware Internet.
There's also the social aspect; will people be as motivated to
attend RHCE training if it doesn't get them out of the house to
meet new people?

Is this worth a try? Maybe it's just an experiment at this stage?
