hello guys, i want to know what's your recommendation for someone using
windows xp home. my church have 2 pc's both xp home but i want to setup some
type of rdp so they can rdp in from home instead of always having to go to
the church to use the pc.

You could look at UltraVNC - http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

However, you'll have to be able to get the remote users *to* the computer
somehow, from the Internet, through your router/firewall. If you are saying
you have two PCs at your church and want to access them *both* remotely, if
you have only one public IP, you'll have to set one of the machines up on a
different listening port. And all of this might be further complicated if
you don't have a static public IP address, although that isn't entirely
insurmountable.

You might find something like GoToMyPC more useful, and easier - it isn't
too expensive.

If you want something free, either RealVNC or UltraVNC will work well. A
commercial program that works well is pcAnywhere. One thing to note is
that all parties (the church and the people connecting from home)
really need to have a fast Internet connection (broadband) for this to
be truly useful. Dialup will be so slow you'll want to kill
yourself. ;-)
