Full Discussion: Opening a GUI from a putty window on Linux
Operating Systems Linux Opening a GUI from a putty window on Linux Post 302380662 by pludi on Wednesday 16th of December 2009 01:09:44 AM

UNIX (that includes Linux) (mostly) uses X11 for graphical displays.Windows does not.

You'll need 2 things: an X11 server for Windows, and SSH X11 forwarding. The later is hidden in PuTTYs settings (in the tree on the left, in (I think) Connection -> SSH -> X11 -> Enable X11 forwarding). As for the X11 server: I've had pretty good experiences with the one that ships with Cygwin.

gsmarkupbrowser

GSMARKUPBROWSER.APP(1)					      General Commands Manual					    GSMARKUPBROWSER.APP(1)

NAME

       GSMarkupBrowser.app - GNUstep Development Framework

SYNOPSIS

       GSMarkupBrowser.app [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the GSMarkupBrowser.app utility.

       This  manual page was written for the Debian distribution (based on the program's README file) because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       GSMarkupBrowser.app is a GNUstep Renaissance utility that allows a developer to review the look and feel of a  GUI  based  on  its  GNUstep
       Renaissance  Markup  Language  file  (gsmarkup  for short.)  This allows the designer to develop the layout without having to actually have
       working code to run the program.

       Of course, the GUI is just for visual inspection -- it does not support any functional use of the application.

       Renaissance was written by Nicola Pero (n.pero@mi.flashnet.it) and is part of the GNUstep project (http://www.gnustep.org).

       GNUstep Renaissance home page is at http://www.gnustep.it/Renaissance.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Brent A. Fulgham <bfulgham@debian.org>, for the Debian project (but may be used by others).
