Adding to Logan's butting..... ;^) You are aware that ssh has an X
forwarding option right (big -X)?? If an X server is running on the
remote box, ssh me@remotebox -X, enter password, type startkde, mozilla,
or whatever the command is for fluxbox. Be careful with starting the
Desktop environments. If you have an X server running locally and no
Desktop environment (ie an X failsafe terminal) you're o.k. but if you
try to start a remote kde inside of a logged in local kde session it
does strange things. Programs themselves are fine in any way you invoke
them. I ssh -X into work from home and run evolution on my work machine
to check the calendar and such. It's really fast. You can do it on a
localnet too. The only difference is that you don't control someone
else's Desktop session, you have your own with ssh.
