Chapter 27. Using Desktop Applications Remotely

What You'll Learn in This Chapter:

  • How the X Window System's remote display facility works

  • How to use the ssh command to automate the remote display facility

  • How to use the remote display facility manually when ssh is unavailable

  • How to start an entire X session on a remote computer

You have learned to make effective use of both the Linux desktop and the Linux command line in many common work situations. In this chapter, you learn to use one of the most powerful features of the Linux/Unix computing paradigm and the X Window System: the ability to display running applications remotelyon the monitor of a separate PC on the network.

If you can master the techniques presented in this chapter, the process of using multiple Linux or Unix machines on your network, particularly for administrative tasks, will become an easy one.

This Is a Networking-Oriented Chapter

Because many of the tasks discussed in this chapter occur on two computers simultaneously, illustrations are imperfect in demonstrating just what is going on at times.

Some amount of imagination and familiarity with using computers in networked environments will be helpful to your understanding when illustrations fall short.
