This one is different in that the remote side is running linux
too. If the user really only needs to run one or a few apps
remotely, he can 'ssh -Y host' and start an app by typing
it's name, or run 'ssh -Y host programname' (which can be done
from a desktop launcher if you want to make it easier). If
the app happens to be nautilus you can also access desktop
launchers from the remote machine and double-clicking them
will pop open new windows for the apps you start. If you
want a whole remote desktop instead of a local one you can
bring up the local machine in runlevel 3 and start X by
typing 'X -query remote_host' to get a graphic login prompt.
XDMCP must be enabled on the remote host for that to work.
