Is this a bad idea?

Running radiants(1.2.13 or 1.3.8-ET) on a remote computers on which WinXPs are installed and connecting to them from a main machine via remote desktop client to copy/paste some prefabs, working regions, models, etc...
Has anyone here tried this?
Or you are all too rich to do this?

Why not simply use the more powerful PC in the first place

That would be too easy Foo.

In all seriousness though, Foo makes a point. Just run multiple instances of GTKRadiant on one computer.

Do you keep radiants open while testing in game?
Does q3 slow down or suddenly stop?
Do you use sleep mode?
Don't you think it's ugly that models turn white after waking up?

yes
no
sometimes
um... never seen that happen.

GTKRadiant 1.4 has been open for 5 days straight now. I've played Quake 3 and Call of Duty with no problems. GTKRadiant still runs smooth.

Oh, that's good.

By the way I've just set up remote radiant and it has worked pretty fine.
GPU of remote machine is S3 savage4 which is way too weak yet it does do the job.

One bad thing is remote clipboard does not work for files.
