Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Log into remote X server via kdm
Hi, I don't know about multiple server selection in KDM, but right now I have 2 networked gentoo PCs. To login to a remote node, I type X -query remotecomputer (Where remotecomputer is your remote computer IP or name) It even works from cygwin, from my main computer, which is sadly on Windows for multiple good reasons. Good luck. Max Mike Williams wrote: Hi all, My turn to go a bit OT, sorry :) I've been digging around for a while at this, but not found a good enough answer.

I can already hear calls of LTSP from the back, but... The desktops will be fully independent, capable of, and set up to run their own X servers and desktops.

Yeah, I could use VNC, but having to log into one, to ssh into another to run a command, to log in again is... messy... Ideas? Cheers -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
