I am working on many different remote systems, so I try to learn the necessary minimum rather than focusing on a personal optimization (sure I agree that that is handy if you work on your only one or a few machines). ... > for one thing I'd consider running that tunneled over ssh+X to a remote > number cruncher, but not a real GUI. a while ago while traveling and > only a borrowed win2k + puTTY to work with I rigged up a system where > the png driver wrote the display image across to a apache public dir > which I could reload in the web browser. not ideal, but it worked. Right, working over ssh in GRASS is very common for me (70% of overall time, often even over unstable connections). So I learned to love "screen" to not crash the GRASS session. The d.* approach consumes little resources only, that's why I like it so much... Will later comment more on a previous mail of Michael.
