I have a pretty basic XWindows question. I'm using Linux and the BASH shell. I want to connect to a machine that is running a Java IDE (we currently have I think "SlickEdit" but we're probably going to download Netbeans, Eclipse) and view the IDE on the client machine. I tried "xhost +" on the client machine and then telnetted to the server and did:
set DISPLAY="myMachine"
When I tried to run the IDE though it didn't display on the client machine. I guess I have a couple of questions:
1) Can you run *any* app and reset the display to a different machine or does it have to be a special "XWindows enabled" app to do so?
2) I've seen in the past where you're supposed to do:
set DISPLAY="myMachine:0"
What in the world is the colon zero for?
Thanks and sorry for the basic-ness of my questions.
