are you sure they are running Mint 9 ? ? that's fairly old . . .

what method do you wish to remote with,, are they all on the same network? ?
- do you need an Internet access them ?
are they in the same building ?

[sizore]

yes there runing mint 9, they all in the same local network, for the methode that i want to use i don't know anything about that.
and thank you for responding Pierre.

you are basically, going to have to Install the SSH Server on each machine:

that's just one way, to do that, and I'm not sure if it will work on your Mint 9 PCs, though

the biggest issue, will be that you may not be able to install anything, system-wise, as they are not supported anymore.
ie: you may not be able to install that SSH software on them, unless you can bypass their old repositories.

yet another way, would be to use Teamviewer:

you would have to install that on each machine, as well.

if ssh is installed is there a way that i can disable local input on the linux devices?

Hello, sizore.

Linux Mint 9 Isadora reached the end of its supported life in May 2013, i.e. almost 5 years ago.
There can hardly be any good reason of clinging to such an outdated Mint release, which has not received any security patches for the past 5 years.
You should seriously consider replacing Mint 9 by Mint 18.x as soon as possible or even earlier.

Best regards,
Karl
