If you are installing "Woody" (testing), the answer is yes. There is a config option in GDM that you can change and allow this functionality quite easily. This was also in the GDM version of Potato, but I had difficulty getting it working here. I am using it here on my home LAN right now...works great! Basically you have to change (edit) two files: 1. Edit the /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc file and remove the "....-nolisten tcp" option at the end of the line. You don't have to do this with the version of GDM in Woody 2. Edit the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file and enable xdmcp in the [xdmcp] section. If you have the Woody version of GDM, you will have to make the edit in #1 in the [server-Standard] section. You can do all this from the initial GDM config console. This may be all you have to do. Cheers, -Don Spoon-
