what are the best/simple options for casual access to a remote Linux host
desktop ?
what do I need to do on remote host to make it ready ?
I have a java gui application I'd like to try, but, don't have a Linux
machine here, so wanted to try it remotely
I tried searching and found Xming, that start up command line and:
