I have a couple servers, using a KVM to have them share a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Alas, it looks like the monitor has died.
I also have a workstation in which I have OpenSuse running within a virtual machine. I can ssh from that virtual machine to these servers, but I am not yet comfortable with using only a terminal to work on a computer (I did so decades ago in the days of DOS, but that was a lifetime ago, and I don't recall anything useful from that time).
Is it posible to have some kind of GUI, either KDE or Gnome, that runs over ssh to let me work on those machines, at least until I can get out to get a replacement monitor? Ideally, whatever is suggested would be viable for both the Ubuntu server and the Opensuse server.
Thanks
Ted You can use X Forwarding with ssh http://itg.chem.indiana.edu/inc/wiki/software/openssh/200.html I use it to use GUI apps, on a Redhat, Ubuntu and Sun server at work, it works really well
