I have three Gentoo machines with all running xfce4.
Please throw me a bone on how to remote desktop to my media server hooked to my stereo.
- I've used Remminia to connect to an RPI in the past and really do not want to RDP {:(}

All gentoo systems come with openssh in the system set.

What is the goal here? Are you trying to remove XFCE? Get a full XFCE environment running on the server, but rendered elsewhere? Run selected X applications on the server, but rendered elsewhere? What, if any, requirements do you have around retaining the running server-side processes across client restarts and/or suspending the server?

I want full xfce running on remote and client. I want to connect to the xfce server with a gui.
I would open a webbrowser on the server from a client.

I decided to try tigervnc and it is not working. I plan on creating a post to solve this problem.
