xmanager for linux

The title may seem stupid. But believe me that is what I have searched for. I wanted to run the applications of a far_away_computer on a local_computer as of they are applications of local_computer
The steps

  1. In the sshd_config if far_away_computer check for

    X11Forwarding yes
  2. On the local_computer edit ssh_config to have

    ForwardX11 yes
    or use the -X flag every time u connect to far_away_computer
  3. Once you are connected to far_away_computer from local_computer, start xterm on the far_away_computer.

Both ssh_config and sshd_config will be present in either /etc or /etc/ssh
