Stephane, I am not sure what the Linux distribution is on my school computer.
Who manages it? You'll need root rights to install anything on it.
What do you mean “try GNU/Linux at home”?
GNU/Linux is an operating system, like Window$ NT, but technically infinitely better. You'll get a better life using it at home and everywhere you can :-)
Steve, I have a program running (IDL) on my school computer and I want to be able to access the desktop from home. I have been using X2GO but everytime I want to open IDL to do data analysis, I have to reload my data and it takes about two hours to reload data. Therefore, my advisor suggested I use Screen so that I can just access what is currently on my school desktop without having to close IDL and reload. I need to be able to “see” my desktop because I make plots and such on IDL.
Screen does this only for command line, not graphical desktop. I think that using IDL at home would be simplier, no?
Please keep Screen mailing-list in the mail loop! -- Sincerely, Stephane Ascoet
