Hi Frank -- Lots of good responses. Rest assured, _X-11 for Linux on z is widely used for GUI applications and for GUI installers_. Mark's question points out a possible misunderstand: VNC for Linux on z *is* X-11 for Linux on z. VNC simply presents a virtual screen rather than a physical screen. Plugging in a bitmapped display to your mainframe is probably doable, but not scalable and likely not worth your effort. So that then leads to other questions. What are your requirements? I regularly _tunnel X-11_ applications to my physical desktop using SSH "-X" option. (Same effect can be had using PuTTY or KiTTY or MobaXterm which Gregory mentioned.) In times past, I used _on-the-wire remote_ (but nobody trusts their own LAN these days). And I've used VNC itself with _'__vncviewer__' on the physical screen_. -- R; <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
