Remote Control of Itunes

I have a Mac Mini with an external hard drive and run itunes. I know I can control itunes on the mini with my iphone or ipod touch using the "remote" app; however, I want to control itunes full screen from an external laptop. Anyone know if that is possible?

I'm not wanting to stream the music through the laptop, just use the laptop from my listening chair to control itunes on my mini as if I were standing in front of it. I could use either an apple or a PC laptop.

Thanks, Peter
