ssh -l mythix 192.168.0.2 -X

the -X command enabled X11 forwarding... Really cool!!

ssh -l mythix 192.168.0.2 -X

the -X command enabled X11 forwarding... Really cool!!Hmm X11 ... I remember reading about that earlier this year (thankfully it never came up in my A+ exams)... looks like I have to reread it :| to remember what it is :p

edit: having just googled it, and come up with many different answers, can you give me an idea of what X11 is, or give me a site where I can read up on it plz?

371229 2005-07-13 02:58:00 X11 is used to display GUIs - without it, you would be stuck with command line.
Th great thing about it is it comes in 2 parts - a server that recieves instructions from the client & displays what it is told to, and a client that tells the server what to display.
You can tell the X client to send the instructions to any computer running an X server.
