I read a short HOWTO on using the xdmcp in redhat 8 and I didn't
bookmark the URL.
The gist of it is to start X from the command line and pass an option
that makes it look for a server on the network and start asession from
the remote machine. I have been Googling for a while but I can't find
the damned thing...
I was just wanting to run Evolution to see if it can be done.
I have a KVM and switch back and forth from OS X to Redhat all day long
but I was just experimenting.
Cheers
Tony
