Dear All;
Is it possible to remote login (x -session) to a second computer( first time) from a first computer.
OS : Ubuntu 10.10

For the whole desktop there id XDMD (which in insuecure only used on a trusted network with trusted users!). Of course any solution that is going to allow X applications would mean that the X-server needs to be installed on the remote box (XDM requires it to be running). If the destination has the X-Server and X Apps (same for Gnome, KDE, ...) installed and not running and you are connecting from a machine with an X-server then it is posible to run the GUI based application on the remote machine with the display on your machine. If accessing via SSH, then need the configure the remote's SSH Server to allow X forwarding and then use X forwarding (option or client configured) to connect and run the application.

There are also other solutions such as VNC but I prefer SSH with X forwarding and just run GUI commands that return the GUI to my machine.

I do not know of a X-server for windows beyound XP (i.e. vista, 7).
