Alternately, he could plug it into his network and just ssh and xforward into it. I've got one plugged in right now and this is a good excuse to check out a few things with X: I'm on nestor, but my email client is on hesiod, so I'll pull up a new eterm on hesiod and use it to ssh into my laptop old76: Poop, there's no love between Eterm and Balsa's clipboard, I'll have to put the text into vi and use gedit to get it here. I might as well have just ssh'd from nestor, but it was neat to see a double X forward work. Other clipboards, such as Mozilla's, and KDE's seem to work across Xforward =:> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ssh -X old76 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Linux old76 2.4.18-586tsc #1 Sun Apr 14 10:57:57 EST 2002 i586 unknown Most of the programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are freely redistributable; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Eterm does see it's own clipboard, so I was able to past the above into into vi on another double forwarded Eterm. Neat enough, it also pastes into a single forwarded vi on the no forwarded hesiod parent Eterm. The double Xforwarded gedit sesion from old76 pasted into the single forwarded Balsa. Gqview also successfully double xforwarded as did gedit. That's nice and it shows that I could xforward though my gateway into the grand internet from any of the more protected computers behind it. I might even be able to xforward through it's wireless card all my network and the internet to my PDA around the house as well as retrieve compact flash card stored pictures from my digital camera. Hurray for X. Back to the point of all this. Being able to get at my laptop and it's pcimcia card though my network makes the laptop more useful to me. Having to cart around a CRT or a whole network of other computers would make my laptop a little less useful. Too many levels of indirection? Could be, I have to clean up all those programs now.
