If you just have some applications you need to run on another machine you can install a minimialistic X system with KDE or Gnome and then use ssh to run applications securely over a network. If the connection isn't blazing maybe you want to reduce your SSH key size to say 128 and you can also enable compression.
SSH will allow you to forward the X protocl very easily. Just use -X when you launch an ssh connection to a server. Now apps which use X will forward over ssh to your X Server. You can also create icons (if you wish) to allow ssh to fire up and execute a command on a remote machine. It would appear to be a standard application to your users other than when they save their files in that application. You just have to understand how X works i.e. What client and server means in the X Windows paradigm. Wade If you need more than that look into VNC and KDE has a nice full screen mode for connecting to remote VNC servers. I like it anyways. :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Distribution Lists Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 11:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OT: Citrix solution yes....I guess VNC must be close, its just I've never used Citrix and have nothing to compare it too.
