after struggling with a wireless adapter installation for a few days, I am wondering if there is some service that will do it remotely.

I am not talking about an enterprise type remote support center. I am thinking about a similar service for home PCs

anyone aware of such a service ?

questions about web services are offtopic on Super User. this appears to be requesting info on or recommendations for linux desktop support services. if your question is about what software to use to provide such a service (or how to configure it), that may be on topic, but you will need to clarify your question. flag for moderator attention if you'd like it considered for reopening. – quack quixote Jun 12 '10 at 20:51

On Linux, there is no easy way to do this. Okay, not that easy. Like TeamViewer is not avaliable there. Anyway, you can use many ways to achieve this.

Graphical help: VNC or krfb or Gnome desktop sharing
"Console" help (this is what everyone use for servers, for desktop PCs, whatever. Best "tool" (feature?) on Linux: SSH (First this may seem alien, but once you get used to it, this is the very first utility which comes when you want to remote assist. Okay you can't pester the graphical environment with this.)

(For both, you need an open port on the other side and have to know the other side's IP.)

Or you have to have a trusted server in the middle. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jun 11 '10 at 23:44
