If you are on a fast local network, configure gdm to permit remote
logins, bring up your local linux without starting X, then run 'X -query
other_host' to run the whole desktop from the other machine. Or let X
start normally locally, and do approximately the same in a window with
'Xnest -query other_host'.
Or run individual remote windows through ssh tunnels like:
ssh -Y user at other_host command_name
which will open a new window on your local box.
But, the nicest way is probably freenx on the server side and any of the
cross-platform NX clients that you can download from
http://www.nomachine.com. This has the advantage of working well even
on slow connections and the ability to reconnect to running sessions -
and some other things.
