I have a machine with OpenBSD installed and would like an X windows installed on it. What would you guys who work with these recommend? Also, can a remote login use the xwindow, like Terminal Services in windows?

[Whiteskin]

Yes you can run X. Get and install Xorg, 6.8. (I'm not familliar with openBSD, so i'll leave the details of that to you.)

As for sharing, I'd look into either VNC, or nomachine's NX. (http://www.nomachine.com/)

I will give that one a try, I fiddled with some other one, but didnt have time to really get into it.

So Xwindows only works on the console correct?

[Whiteskin]

*blink*. No. Xwindows is what gives you a graphical environment.

I mean the GUI only works at the console, not in an ssh session? Console being the monitor and keyboard directly connected to the machine. Maybe I mislead, but thats what I was asking.

[Squashman]

You need to enable X forwarding in your SSHD_config file.

[Whiteskin]

As LwdSquashman said, you can forward X through ssh, but it's much nicer and smoother to use something like NX, or VNC from what I hear.

Alright, I plan to work on it this weekend if I get the time, and I will try it out. The one I am working on now is a server, so VNC is not an option, if you know what I mean.
