KDM, XDM & GDM are all display managers. They permit both local and remote X windows sessions to occur and provide client support (the "remote" is the server in X, parlance). If you have two Linux boxes running any of the above it is possible to log into a remote machine's X-Windows using the local server. While the programs are executed remotely, the local display handles interpreting the graphics primitives, etc. so execution is quite fast over a network. By enabling the "chooser" on one or more machines, you would be presented with a list of available computers on your local network that can handle XDM logins... In addition using "server" software such as Exceed, you can log into your Linux box via a Lan and use it graphically as if you were sitting on the console... This is done via XDMCP. Now someone PLEASE tell me how to enable the chooser in 8.0. I had no trouble getting it to work on 7.2, but in 8.0 I am unable to get the chooser to display. I'm stuck with the user logins and nothing else. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robert MacLean Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 3:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] KDM, XDM, GDM??? Hi What are KDM, XDM, and GDM? I know they have something to do with XWindows but that is about it? Also what are there differences? Thanks Robert
