Re: [newbie] linux to unix

If I'm not mistaken, telnet isn't a graphical environment.  For you to
use the apps you mentioned, you would need to open an X-terminal
on the foreign machine.  The concept you described would only work
if you were mounting the foreign drives to your machine.

Dear Mandrake user,

I had assumed that if I would telnet to my schools Unix system from within
Gnome i would be able to use emacs, xemacs, nedit etc. without needing any
additional Xwindows system for the graphical display.

Shouldn't this be the case (?) and if not might someone suggest a possible
solution/program ?

Thanks in advance,

Vincent
