[GRLUG] Remote login in Ubuntu

[Benjamin Flanders]

Thank You all for your insight.  I installed x2go and I am playing around
with it, but I think that ssh -X might work just as well, and
was extremely easy when I was logged into my linux environment.  I will
have to work on getting it to work in windows(while at work), but I haven't
even Googled "x environment" for windows yet to see how to do it with
puttty.




Share and Enjoy
Ben
