It is a little more involved than I really want to get into. I have just installed 4.2 on an old 486 and would like to use it to access an X server running on a debian machine I have. 1. Is there anyway I can just telnet or ssh into the debian box and run X applications on the freebsd box, using the debian box's server? 2. Can I do this without running an X server on the freebsd box? This is my first attempt at freebsd. I've searched the list archive but didn't come up with an answer. I've looked through some linux docs and freebsd docs. Any help would be appreciated.
