Hi Luis: Wonderful. I have posted to the vmd site a question:
I have noticed on the VMD manual (last version) that "Interactive molecular dynamics simulations VMD can be used as a graphical front-end to a live molecular dynamics program running on a remote supercomputer or high-performance workstation. VMD can interactively apply and visualize forces in an MD simulation as it runs." May be you can tell me how to make the connection. I already have a reliable ssh connection between a Debian i386 etch computer with X and Gnome (where to install VMD) to a remote machine with Debian amd64 and no X (where to install NAMD). I can slogin from either machine to the other one and use any standard ssh command (the two machines are connected to a router, using the internal static dhcp assignments).
