</div>This will work on Windows as long as you have an Xserver installed for<br>
Windows. However, the poster mentioned wanting to keep the software<br>
install light on the windows box so I ruled out this option.<br>
<br>
Using the VNC solution and running gnome on the backend however gives<br>
the user the full menu system without having to remember the application<br>
names.<br><div class="im"></div></blockquote><div><br>Yes, but it runs the whole desktop then. Then you have a desktop in a desktop, which I find very clumsy. I much prefer a "ssh'd application" running remotely. Its like the good ole thin client days from the mainframe.<br>
