Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Xming Vs ssh connect to RHEL server from Windows machine

I've never had any problems getting launchers set up to to connect to CentOS, Ubuntu or RedHat servers, but I couldn't get a launcher to work with Solaris. I got no meaningful error messages back and eventually gave up and did it without the launcher. If I were doing it for someone other than myself, I would have spent more time on it, but I was satistfied with starting Xming, then SSHing to the Solaris machine and running my little script.

Launchers are part of the GNOME desktop and you probably had no problems because your Linux servers run GNOME. But GNOME sits on top of X11 and we are talking native X11 connections here. Most probably the SUN is not running any X-server, let alone a desktop. There simply are no launchers, just X-servers (basically a graphic card driver with a network interface) and X-clients (programs which use X-servers to display their data).

I hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Xming launcher on Microsoft Windows. Gnome isn't relevant here.

The Solaris machines does not need an Xserver. The client machine where the GUI program is to be displayed, does.
