hi,
Then it would be easy for you to run X (well it's actually beauty of X)..
you can rlogin to your home computer from work computer like:
rlogin "homecomputer.ip.address
then set display like in bash:
setenv DISPLAY "workcomputer.ip.address:0.0"
then from your work computer put:
xhost +homecomputer.ip.address
then from your work computer via remote login put:
xterm &
or
xv &
then, it will open xterm in your work computer..
There is some performace issue so
you may want to look into installing and setting up dxpc, i.e. the
"differential x protocol compressor", which is designed to improve X
performance over dialup connections.
You can also run lbx - low bandwidth X for much better performance but
it might require some playing around if your X server does not support
lbx. I believe that most current ones do. It is easy to try:
