I have a remote server. There is no keyboard or monitor attached.
I normally don't install X-Windows on a remote server.
If I wanted to do something like:
ssh to remote server.
set the DISPLAY to my local box
start xeyes
what X-Windows Software would need to be installed on the remote server?
What if I wanted to run something more complex like mozilla? What
X-Windows things would need to be installed on the remote server then?
What if I wanted a full gnome or kde desktop?
I guess that I don't fully grasp the server/client/XFree86/etc stuff
100%. As long as you install everything, everywhere... it works....
I am looking at the minimailistic install on the server.
Thanks - jack
