A few of you might understand what
Xming can do. A few less of you might understand what X11 forwarding is any good for. Personally, I didn't know what either of these things were until two days ago when I was looking for a replacement for
VNC. By making a
secure shell connection to my Linux computer from work, I can run all the programs on the home computer, but using my work computer as the display.
You don't have to understand it, I guess.
