<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>I've been tasked to find a secure solution to gaining
remote X-Windows console access to various systems running Linux (or OBSD, if
you are so inclined).</span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>The stated goal is for someone to be able to securely
access servers in our datacenters worldwide from remote clients (a laptop
running Windows XP or RHL 8.0) and be able to interactively launch and use
X-Windows if desired and for whatever reason. The reasons have not been given
to me, so I can't answer questions about why anyone would want to do this on a
given server. </span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>And yes, I am personally aware that any administrative
task anyone would need to do remotely can be done easier and faster via a text
SSH console.</span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>I've been reading about various ways to do this, but
before I go off and start installing and experimenting, I was wondering if
anyone has done something similar and would be willing to share their
experiences. I'd be interested in hearing about what worked and what didn't,
possible gotcha's, recommendations for specific open source or commercial
clients, links to info I may not have found thru Google or the LDP, and the
like.</span></font></p>
