Hi,

I'm new to the world of unix and my work involves using solaris and hp-ux however I fancy linux much better. Recently, I installed RH7.0 on my Compaq Armada laptop. I was wondering how I could use it as a x terminal for solaris or hp-ux boxes just like using an x windows emulator (ex. reflection x) for windows to connect to unix boxes.

Thanks in advance

At work I use Xnest for our AIX servers.

Xnest is part of XFree86 and should be installed by default. At least mine is.

From a Linux terminal

Xnest :1 -query 192.168.1.5

Just replace the ip

I also use a script for a desktop shortcut as it displays all our AIX servers.

#! /bin/sh
Xnest :1 -indirect 172.16.1.134 &

Hope it's what your looking for.
