The question is not "Can it be done?", but rather "How best to do it so as to achieve the desired end result?".
There are a gazillion different ways to access X11 applications on a zlinux system from a workstation. Which way is the best way depends a lot on what one wishes to achieve. You can configure an X11 Server on a Windows PC to contact a display manager running on the zlinux system. The result will be that the entire desktop environment is running on the zlinux system, and the desktop environment will by default run all application on the zlinux system, with the display shown in the X11 Server application on the Windows PC. You can connect from an X11 desktop system to the zlinux system with ssh -X and then run individual applications on the zlinux system that will display locally on the X11 desktop system. You can allow users on the zlinux system to run a VNC X11 server on the zlinux system, to which they can then connect from any desktop system, be it X11, Windows, or Mac/OS. This VNC X11 server will then probably contain a complete desktop environment that is running on the zlinux system. Etc. Etc. So, the interesting question is: what is the end result you would like to achieve? Willy On 05/04/2016 05:31 PM, Frank Wolfe wrote:
