An even faster route to satisfaction: Xming. It's really easy to install and has a little startup wizard to configure it how you want, eg. running full screen or using managed windows, using PuTTY to set up a compressed ssh forward for you, etc. It's really sweet. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2006: Dunedin, New Zealand http://linux.conf.au/ "Stupidity is used to run 98% of the world's corporations, which tops UNIX server usage by quite a bit." - George Lebl -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
