You don't actually need X running on the server, just the applications and required libraries. You can then use ssh to log into the server and simply run your application. The remote PC's will of course need X running. There are a couple of advantages to this 1) you only need port 23 open 2) the server saves a bit of RAM. Alternatively, you can run X on the server and enable XDMCP (run gdmconfig to set this option). On the client you can then run "X :1 -indirect <server>". The advantage of doing it this way is that the entire desktop (GNOME or whatever) runs on the server and the whole thing seems pretty seamless to the user. > After I install base RH9.0 on workstation, what do I need to have them run X > client that starts with a graphic log-in (kind of like what RH90 has for > workstation configuration) Just be sure you have X and gdm (or equivalent) installed and configured. > All workstation have at least 500MHz, 128Megs of RAM, 2 gig HD. > Is there a nice simple guide for this somewhere? 500MHz isn't fast enough?? If you added another 128MB of RAM and stuck in some bigger hard disks they'd be fine for the desktop.
