I want to run X on my desktop machine but I want it to be displayed on
my laptop. In other words, I want it to be exactly as if I was sitting
at my desk running it on the monitor there but I want it on my laptop
instead. The programs and files I want to run and access, respective
ly are all on the desktop computer.
I assume that I need to login to my desktop computer, then get X to run
there but display on the laptop. I this not right?
