-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What you are talking about is the client/server relation ship between applications running on the computer. XFree86 is a server for applications and the programs running on it are clients, where the X server is hosting video output and KM input connections and client software requests use of the video & KM. And when running a remote desktop the local system run XFree86 is running the server application and the other computer is running the client applications, correct.
- From a network configuration it is the other way around the server hosts network connections and clients make requests to use network connections. And when I read Richard's question is sounded more like a networking question then an application question. My mistake. I need more coffee also. Typically when I talk about XTerminals I call the network server the server and the terminals the clients because most people do not understand the relationship between software applications and the XFree86 server. That is a good point you have made. Maybe we should spend some time educating people so I can use proper terminology. On Friday 04 October 2002 09:29 am, Aaron J.
