    Hello.
    Is it possible to install Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 remotely on VPS with Linux (CentOS) ?

    I have readed about RIS (Remote Installation Service) but I'm still not sure is this possible or not.

    Thanks,
    Igor

    In most cases - no - depends of Virtualization System used. You can PM me for detailed explanation...
    Why not to address to the Hardware Node owner for service?
    Why not to use wine emulator to run Windows software on Linux?

    Thank you for your answer.
    Well problem is that I don't know anything about linux so it's hard for me to know all this.

    Can i get some kind of remote desktop connection with my VPS ?
    Can wine emulator run any windows software on linux ?

    Thanks !

    Remote desktop is not really what you want- SSH is the application used to connect to your server.

    You can also forward the X11 service to your local machine to view graphical applications. Wine works with some apps, what specifically did you want to run?
