Bret, Just to amplify a bit on Mike's response below, you can indeed run X over SSH, but make sure you do the following: 1) On the remote host (the one that would be accepting your ssh connection and then displaying an X application back to your local desktop) make sure you have "X11Forwarding

No problem Rick! If you need the whole desktop, this is the best way. Just use what's built into X already. :) If you just need a window, and a single application, then, as others have pointed out, telnet, and export your display. It just depends on what you want to do. As to the X crash... I

the below seems to work, but there seems to be some instability in rh 8.0. When switching from the x session to one of the console ( F1), the x session dies, the console then closes and the x login screen is displayed. Has anyone had this problem? I have tried on one older rh 7.2 and did not hav
