It sets the DISPLAY variable to indicate a remote X11-Server and tunnels it back to your workstation. If you really want the remote graphical desktop (instead of a single application) then you could run gnome-session. Since the X11-Server is compute-intensive, your workstation may do a cheaper job than using shared IBM Z capacity. <anecdote> In the early days, we noticed one Linux guest consuming a large amount of CPU resources. Since the owner didn't pick up the phone, we walked over and learned he was "doing nothing" - just had the screen saver active with flying toasters. </anecdote> Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
