I have a PC that am turning in to a server for a few sites i have, but what i want to do is use my laptop to view the server as it is the monitor. Am not meaning ssh i want to use the laptop screen for the PC.

I hope you understand what i mean.

My laptop only has a VGA output so can't use a cable but am sure i seen software some where but not sure where.

or you can always use RealVNC. Its free and it has a Linux & a Windows installation. You would need to run the server on the Linux server(from the linux app install version) and the viewer on the Windows system(from the windows app install version)
