It's not all time wasted :-) In fact, I would say you've learned a ton of stuff that will stand you in very good stead for the future. You now know how to export X11 over the network, which is one of the basic things X was designed to do. However, very very very few Linux users seem to know how to do it :-) You know the secret to getting a DM to allow it all in the first place, and you also know what to do when ssh capabilities are on the server. So all round it sounds like a useful exercise you went through. In fact it sounds *exactly* like the stuffing around I had to do when I learned the same lessons :-) alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
