Server / client terminiology gets stood on its head by X. The software that allows a program to display is an X server. Thus, to display data from a linux box on a win2k box, you need an X server on the 2k box, and the linux box becomes a client. Most confuzzled setup, but works wonders. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
