1. Install X on the server but don't start it. Also install ssh. 2. Run X apps on the server with output sent to your workstation X display via ssh. Syntax is ssh -X -f servername remoteappname I use this to run a gkrellm and xconsole on every server. > > How is remote administration usually handled?
