Remote Control Fedora 4 Box
 

This is my question i currently have two boxes one is a Fedora 4 Box which sits up stairs and the other is my laptop that uses Windows Xp - when i want to connect to my Fedora Box from my Laptop i use cygwin Xwin which works really well - but my dilema is that i want to remove xp off my laptop and put Fedora on it - is there such a thing as Xwin if you want to connect to another fedora box from a fedora box - i have used Vnc in the past for linux but i have found this to be slow -

Thanks in advance

Yes, just the normal X Window System. You can connect from one Fedora box to the other using SSH, e.g.

$ ssh -X user@host

The -X option specifies that you want X11 forwarding (which is what you do using Cygwin/X) and should work as long as you have X running on the machine you're connecting from.

Or if you want full desktop control, you can use freeNX ...so much better than VNC

much more secure (uses key exchange across SSH)
much faster (I mean a alot!)
more feature support (like audio etc)
easy to install.

This way your client-side can be any version of Linux, windows, etc.. I've used all the rest and this one is by far the best.

Thanks for your help and quick response
