There are several ways of running any X program from any machine, but if you really want a trouble-ticket sort of tracker for multiple users/groups you might like RT. It is overkill for a to-do list, but the price is right: http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/ > I've tried using calendar functions in various mail programs, but they > only work on the local client.

Yes, but the same program also checks for email which you need to do anyway - and note that if your own terminal doesn't have the capacity to run the programs you need you can run it remotely on a more powerful machine that could be serving many users. In fact if you have such a machine you might be better off running your own desktop as a thin client. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
