[GRLUG] Remote login in Ubuntu

[Brad DeVries]

I've had some luck with Xming:  http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/
And it works with PuTTY and Pageant.

I even use Xming with XDMCP and it works fine.  I think I read that there
was some security issues with XMDCP, so I would only recommend using it in
a secure network, like home.

Brad.
