[ILUG] Xterminals

[Stephen_Reilly at dell.com]

Would it not be easier to run a remote X-window on your windows system ? You
can get software such as eXeed, vnc and xwin32 via which you will have an
Xdesktop  from the server running in a window on your local windows machine.

		I have just recently found out how excellent xterminals
are....

		iv been running a redhat 6.1 p75 24mb ram without a moniter
and a lack of x
		is annoying so i overheard in #linux about xterminals
		so i did as they said installed X win pro on my windows
machine
		telnet to my linux machine and ran the command
		export DISPLAY="192.168.0.2:0"            ( Thats my windows
mahcine)
		then i typed xterm , netscape and they were all popping up
grand... was
		brilliant..
		i then tried kde... seemed to work ok a few problems but ok.

		More to the point i was wondering is it possible to export
all displays
		to my windows machine somehow...
		and so when i run startx or xdm it all comes to my winodws
machine...

		right now it tries to startx on my linux machine...


		anyone any ideas?

		that would be great

		thanks n advance
