If your client runs Windows you will have to get an X-server for it. If your client runs Linux: just use ssh and try starting an X app (make sure not to set the DISPLAY variable yourself, ssh will take care of it) Nico On Fri, Aug 11, 2000 at 12:38:28PM +0530, UK Jaiswal wrote: > And how do we

Look for a rpm called "vnc" it is very good. With vnc I can support Window users using my FreeBSD box. VNC is great!!! On Fri, 11 Aug 2000, robsmith wrote: > Is there a linux version of pc anywhere?? or a program similiar?? I am > thinking about installing ssh but wanted to check first... >
