X on Gentoo
WindowsReplacement: Windows Terminal Services
OfficialSite: http://www.xfree.org
replaces: X11R6
SeeAlso: GentooKDE
XFree86, provides a client/server interface between display hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized application interface (API). XFree86 is platform-independent, network-transparent and extensible.
It is quite standard. see the DesktopConfiguration? guide at the gentoo website for basic setup. and xf86config
In the corporate enviornment
You can run appliations, even entire desktops off of a remote computer... Here is a brief intro to that:
xhost +localhost
allows you to use other users programs on your display...
or
xhost +IPaddress lets you use another computers applications...
to forward your application to another server set the DISPLAY enviornment variable
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.3:0
thats an IPaddress colon display number
So... to get applications from another computer running on your x...
xhost +IPaddress
SSH IPaddress (-l username if needed)
logged into app server now...
export DISPLAY=machineyouron'sIPaddress
then run the app... it should run!
If you want to serve desktops,
You'll want to edit your DisplayManagers? configuration file to share the computer with the rest of the network.
(I recommend kdm and for your window manager I recomend kwin (both part of KDE).. and the desktop enviornment KDE)
KDE (OfficialSite http://www.kde.org) is very standard with the big time distros, and it offers good abstraction between you and the hardware. It's highly modular. The file browser is very good, but it has the problem of opening every stinking file type under the sun... and it always behaves the same, even in totally clear enviorments, providing for some frustration... It's the best, so I use it.. (gnome is immediately disqualified by changing settings when poking arround with the dialog boxes to figure out what they do). The other readily available choice is fluxbox . fluxbox is very unixy... but well rounded. As I get more comfortable with the unix type enviornment, (and my KDE doesn't work) I'm going to be using this inovative window manager... (it's not a desktop enviorment though... but who uses kword anyway? OpenOffice1?.1 is MS Office compatible) |
