I have ssh set up on my computer at home. Its a firewall/web server/router/ssh. I wan't to be able to be at school and ssh into my home computer. Right now I can do that, it all works fine. But I can only get a terminal. How can I get X to be displayed when I ssh from my other computer. BTW the computer I use as a ssh client is windows, its a school computer and I can't put linux on it or they will probably get mad.

look into "vnc"

you can't do what you're trying to do (ie. run startx from ssh and hope it works) http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

and it sucks if you have a slow link at home.

Actually, you can do X forwarding fine, but only windows, not entire X sessions (with ssh, of course - you can only do entire sessions with VNC).

What do you mean by windows. Like say I am in X on my home computer then I goto work. Log in via ssh and then I can say open up a mozilla and I will see mozilla?

Do you have a link for a linux vnc server and windows client. Is vnc free or under the gnu?
