There are network enabled KVM switches, they are expensive, but the target system doesn't need to know it is being controlled. In a similar vane you could use VNC or freeNX. If this is an enterprise (business) effort, CrossTec has a product for $425 that might work with Mandriva. Are you trying to take over an existing session, or merely access your computer remotely? At a distance of about two hundred miles, you will probably want a display also.
