Re: Can you Twikify or HowTo this?

If I have it right:

Computer A is running Windows XP and has Cygwin with X installed.

Computer B is running Linux and gdm (the Gnome Display Manager - probably better known to you as the graphical login screen) is responding to XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol) requests; this allows you to have the display somewhere other than the local machine.

On Computer A, Greg issues a command similar to "XWin.exe -query Computer B" which starts up the local X server (on Computer A). gdm responds and presents Greg with a login screen; the application (gdm) is running on Computer B, but the GUI is being displayed across the network on Computer B.

Clearer?

Except that on the second set of

Screenies is all running on 1 machine at the same time.

Computer A is running WindowsXP and VMware running Linux (the native install vs a Virtual disk and such).

Cygwin is the running on the WindowsXP, VMware is running on WindowsXP and Linux is runing under VMware and has gdm ON. Cygwin Logs in using XDMCP to the VMware Linux and everything is executing on a single processor.

Now the last picture is Linux as the Host OS, VMware is running with WindowsXP Native install on a seperate profile (hardware profile) thnen it has cygwin requesting to the host os to login again. Thereby running the Linux apps on the Linux machine proper and Displaying on the Windows in Cygwin, running under VMware.

As Drook pointed out: Computer A == Windows, Computer B == Linux Under Windows VMware.

Except for the last one: Computer A == Linux Host, Computer B == Windows Under Linux VMware, requesting to the Computer A Host as a remote machine.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
