I have two computers. One of them uses windows XP operating system and other one linux distro. One is on the first floor and the other on the second. How I can remotely execute some programs from one to another? They are connected in small home network. Its very boring going all the time up stairs down stairs to do some trivial things.

You can log in on linux machine via telnet or rsh or rlogin. I use telnet. You have telnet on both machines (telnet comes with them by default). To use it first you have to configure privileges on client machine, so that it will be able to accept incoming telnet connection from designated server or machine. After that if you want to use telnet, open command prompt on windows or shell on linux and type:
telnet (computer name or IP address and port if you have designated port other then default one)
If you have everything properly configured then you will be logged in on another computer.
