Just wondering if there is a way to setup Remote Desktop on XP Home. I know i can remote to a home edition computer from a Pro, but is there any way to use Home to remote to other Home edition PCs?

You have it backwards. You can ONLY Remote Desktop into an XP Pro machine (not taking server OSs into account). In other words, the XP Pro machine is the server, the client can be just about any OS.
If you want to have a terminal session with XP Home, you will need to use something other than Remote Desktop. Many people recommend one of the versions of VNC.

I have VNC, and have used it, but it is very slow compared to using remote desktop. It could have something to do with me being in Florida and the machine i'm connecting to being in New Hampshire.
