I've heard of CORBA, but not of RMI.

This is definately beyond the scope for an introduction to OOP, or even an introduction to whatever programming language you plan on using (and actually CORBA is beyond the scope of my book too).
Perhaps you should go to the library and see if they have any books that explain it properly

Agreed. Well, I did order a book which a friend recommended to me;
the first edition of this. I won't be able to read it for a while, however.
So in the meantime, I'll continue to try and find a decent non-printed introduction
