Yes sir. Very comfortably. You can use it the following way...
1. Fire up your machine's X using startx.
open a shell and type 'xhost + IPaddressofremotehost'
telnet/rsk to that host
On remote shell prompt, tupe 'export DISPLAY=yourIPaddress:0.0'
Now any application you run there, should give it's display
on your X windows screen.
2. If this does not suffice, make sure that remote machine is running
the CDE or Open windows, that is, it is in GUI support mode
[For linux, the machine should be running xdm]
type
'X -query IPaddressofremotemachine'
on your machine's prompt. You need not be root.
This will give you the console of remote machine, be it DEC/Solaris
anything, right on your desktop.
