Re: [gnome-love] ot: using gnome to run an xwindow session on another pc

["Cameron Crothers" <jprogrammer gmail com>]

Hi Don,

If you just want single applications shared on your desktop the simplest way is to pass the -X option to an ssh session which will allow X based appllications to be tunnelled to your local computer via SSH. However if you want a full desktop session you can try VNC or the non free software, but free, NoMachine.

Hope this helps

Cameron

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right place to post this message, but here it goes.

I have a need to run some xwindows applications on a linux box at my corporate home office. I work remotely.

I can get connected to the network without a problem, but I am not sure the best way to run the remote applications and have their ui's appear on my local gnome display.

any suggestions would be appreciated.
