Remote Login / Admin


Hi all,

I'm new (surprise surprise)


I'm also new with the use of linux, no more surprises there I guess.

I've recently built a redhat 8 linux server on which counter strike is running, its all going great and stuff, and I use putty to connect to the server, however I was curious if there is a way to login to the linux box remotely with the x windows type gui interface?

Is there some client I can download, then punch in the IP and login to the box like i was standing there in front of it with the GUI ???

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

You can forward X with ssh using putty..

You would just have to startx once logged in, etc.

There are tutorials hidden out there.. first one I came across on a search was this one: http://www.linuxhq.com/ldp/howto/XDMCP-HOWTO/ssh.html

Should get you going with a small understanding how it works.
