I'm just wondering if I ran xastir on my linux box, can I connect to my linux
box with my windows laptop over wireless network and see the graphics on my
laptop like I would if I was sitting in front of my linux box.
I'm curious about this as my linux box is not within my reach when I'm in
bed, but I use my winXP laptop when in bed and want to do my xastir over it.
Please let me know if this is possible..
Yes. You can run it on the Linux box with the display on the
Windows box via a variety of methods. Probably the easiest is with
VNC.
Another way would be to run XMing on the Windows box, connect over
to the Linux box and start up Xastir. In this case though if you
shut down the display then Xastir shuts down.
With VNC you can connect over to the Linux box at any time and see a
live display of what's over there. You can do the same
Windows->Windows, Windows->Linux, Linux->Windows, etc.
