Now if you have two linux machines running on the same network and computer A knows the name or ip of computer B. If person on computer B types in xhost +, then on computer A a person could type in mozilla -display "name or IP of com":0 and mozilla will come up and be controlled by computer A, but it is executing on computer B. Well. Is the instance of the application that is initiated from Computer A loaded completely from the remote machine (Computer B)? If so, how is the speed? Has to be amazingly slow even if both units are somewhat local. Pardon if that is a dumb question. I'm still thinking Windows and all this is very new to me. Another area of conceptual blockage for me has to do with the manner in which applications are registered to each station. In Windows it seems you actually have to install an application so that local registry entries are updated. Even if the application is run from a remote source it seems you have to do some workstation tweaking of the local registry. If in Linux you don't have to do this that is some powerful mess! Hope I'm making sense here.
