n12/8 Is there such a detacheable X terminal? I would like the ability to
detach my current X and continue working at home... is that feasible?
\_ vnc
\_ There are a few things that will do this: the vncserver for X
will give you a detachable, reattachable X session; but it's not
encrypted, but you can always ssh to the machine and do a
vncviewer localhost. "xmove" has a form of this, and there's also
at least one more whose name escapes me. In reality, I've never
found any of these very useful, probably because I've never had
a very low bandwidth X program that was essential to detach (just
end up using "screen" usually..) --dbushong
\_ huh? Vnc is plenty damned fast.
\_ It's about as fast as running the apps remotely not in VNC
...which may be fast enough for you.. --dbushong
\_ I've played netrek over VNC. It's faster than that.
