Just for completeness, Kayvan's suggestion was bang on. I have found that using a Windows based X-server and running LyX remotely works better from a performance perspective but VNC is a cheaper and more stable approach (no crashes).
What kind of results have others had using a Windows based X-server to remotely access LyX on a Linux box on the same local network? Kent ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kayvan A.
