3. YaST tools to include:
a) NX server and client: Make available an easy to use YaST tool to integrate the OSS FreeNX server and client. Optional also the non-OSS but free NoMachine NX server and clients. This way it will be easy and fast to do remote login an run Xapps with speed.
Yes, please! I'd like to cast a vote for this as well.
What would that obtain that can't be had with ssh -X?
Umm... gonna take a wild stab at this. Awareness of such a command line option? The whole point of Yast is to give an administrator who DOESN'T know such an option existed on the command line a way to see it visually in Yast. There's nothing wrong with doing it the CLI way, but there are people out there who don't know all there is to know about CLI options and that's where YAST comes in.
Ssh -X will take you to a command line on a remote host, where you can then start Yast and have it appear on the local desktop. I've even done it from Windows. \ -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
