[linux-help] Re: Advanced X-Windows Question

[Jeremy Johnstone <jsjohnst@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well here is the apps I would like to be able to do this with:

Gaim (so I can see messages I missed while I was away and can be logged
in 24x7 without having downtime)
Ximian Evolution
Zend Studio (java application)
Mozilla browser windows


I am beginning to think VNC or something similar would work for my
purpose. I guess I will look around for more information on it.
