I have to start by saying that I owe Gentoo contributers a great deal. The knowledge and experience I have gained from building gentoo systems over the years, simply as a hobbies, has turned into a lucrative career. Enough kissing but. Heres the beef. It was explained to me by a professor when I was in school that xwindows (X11, xfree86, xorg) were engineered in a way that would satisfy both the bloated desktop computing as we know it today (stand alone) or, multiple thin clients where the bulk of the processing and maintenance is done on a back end sever. I'm trying to implement the ladder. I want to be able to make accounts on my server for friends that would allow them to launch either a complete xsession where all the display is tunneled via ssh to the remote client. (remote desktop environment), Or because I have heard that the X protocol is bulky and slow, why cant we simply start the windows manager on the remote client in the same fashion that the x applications support. I found a lot of documentation and I have done many experiments where by using ssh -X along with some other configuration changes I was able to shell into the server from a remote client and start and run an application where the processing is being done on the server and the display is forwarded to the my local client. I have not yet seen or read any "good" documentation describing how to do the ladder. Note that concurrent remote sessions is the ultimate goal. I know there is VNC and some other crap out there. Thats not what I want to do. I want have a real x server with multiple xsessions where the display for each session is different <remote ip>:0:0.
Preferably with fluxbox as the windows manager for the sessions. If anyone out there knows of some good documentation or perhaps has done this before I would greatly appreciate any help. _________________ I am the stone that the builder refused. |
