Re: Xserver or Xwindow for Administering a Linux Server from a remote PC

Hi Forum,

I need to install xServer or xWindow to admin remote linux Server.
is it possiable? if yes then please any body tell me how??
If no then, what is the possiable way to do that

Presuming from your headers you are running Linux, you don't need
to install anything.

'ssh -CX remotehost' should give you a login with X11 forwarding
enabled through ssh. Any GUI app you start will open seamless on
your remote desktop securely transported through your ssh
connection, Apps that support docking will do the same if started
remote or not.

Apps aware of nas (network audio system) should be able to output
through your local sound card.

The XWindows System was designed form ground up with network
capabilities.

Of course there is no really need for any GUI to admin a Linux
server. Things can be done more efficient from the shell and with
a good editor (vi(m)), as if there would be another. ;-)

Good luck
