Hello. I know this looks like a dump question ... I wish I can find a easy

tell me where to find a good tutorial.

Now I have freebsd 5.2  gnome 2 running on my notebook, X is started by 
gdm. My friend's computer run RedHat linux 9. I login to gnome, ssh login 
to my friends computer in a xterm, set $DISPLAY to be mynotebook:0.0. 
Then I type gedit, I'm expecting gedit to come out on my desktop, but I 
got cannot open display message.
   

Try with xterm, which generates much better error messages.  Possible
causes:  DISPLAY variable not exported, nothing listing on
mynotebook:0.0, host + or xhost +otherserver not run on mynotebook.
If you add the -X flag to ssh, ssh will automatically set $DISPLAY on
the other end and tunnel the display back to the local server.

Do I need to do something like make auth or do some operation to let my 
computer trust my friends computer? I'm newbie on this topic.

Thank you. You can just point me a good article to read:)
