    Question SecureCRT and GUI apps remotely

    I am trying out SecureCRT on my Windows XP box to administer my Linux (SuSe) server. SSH itself works fine, but I want to ssh to the linux box and bring up some gui apps like yast2. I made sure in SecureCRT that X11 forwarding is setup, and X11 port forwarding is setup. But when I try it tells me I have no local Xserver running and the remote connection is refused.

    Has anyone used SecureCRT to connect to their linux server and bring up a GUI program?

    Never mind. I found a free windowsXP Xserver program called Xming (just do a google on it).
    Once installed and resident, I can ssh with secureCRT to my linux box and bring up any gui program as if I was sitting at the server myself. Kinda nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
