About
The X Window System's client-server architecture makes it possible to run graphical applications remotely – i.e. the user is interacting with the application on one machine, but the actual execution is taking place on another.
There are actually two ways to run remote graphical applications on X Windows:
- /application: run a single application
- /desktop: run a complete desktop environment
