I am running Xubuntu on my main PC at home.
Is it possible for 2 users to work simultaneously on one computer,
while one is physically in front of the computer, and another one is connected remotely from another Ubuntu PC?
EDIT: Both users need a GUI environment.
If yes, how do I set it up?
EDIT 3: I have a powerful desktop PC (recently converted to Linux :) ) and 2 laptops. The desktop PC has a VM with all the Graphic Design software on it. Me and my friend both work on a web project, and the laptops are not suitable for it. The laptop is good for development, but every now and then I need to access the Graphical Design software, so I need the Desktop. My friend works on Linux Graphics tools and also needs the Desktop.
So we decided to share the Desktop, while he will be working on it directly, I would like to connect to it from my Laptop to access the VM. Desktop and laptop are in one LAN.
EDIT2: Thanks, for the comments and answers, I got on track with this. A quick search revealed 2 options:
- SSH-X or "X11 Forwarding via SSH" (as you already pointed out)
- FreeNX
Which direction would you recommend? Or a better alternative if you know one.
Sorry for bad explanation, I don't have good writing skills.
