I'm currently using Xnest to do this. It's good enough for a desktop, but you don't get any local hardware forwarding, so you lose USB and audio. If anybody has some insight on the NomachineX option (which I believe I looked at, but forget why I didn't use it), or other ideas, I'd be interested in them.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

There are a number of ways of doing this.

1. You could use SSH X forwarding.  In this way you would connect only
individual applications while using the local window manager.  We use
this to run CD burning software on a Linux machine.
2. You could use something like XNest.  This will give you a session
in a window.
3. You could run a VNC server on the Linux box and connect with any vnc viewer.
4. You could go for something like Nomachine X, which handles things
like disconnected sessions and multimedia quiet well.
5. You could run SRSS directly on the Linux box.  Perhaps setup
separate FOGs for Solaris, Linux environments.  Might want to play
with AMGH.  This will probably offer the best user experience.

Hi guys i was wondering if it is possible to make a session connector
like the one used for windows to connect to a linux server?
