 In order to run an application on one Linux system and have it display on another system there are a couple of prerequisites. Firstly, the system on which the application is to be displayed must be running an X server. If the system is a UNIX or Linux based system with a desktop running then this is no problem. If the system is running Windows, however, then you must install an X server on it before you can display applications from a remote system. A number of commercial and free Windows based X servers are available for this purpose and a web search should provide you with a list of options.

 In the chapter entitled ([[Remote Access to the Fedora Linux Desktop]]) we looked at how to display the entire Fedora Linux desktop on a remote computer. Whilst this works well if you actually need to remotely display the entire desktop, it could be considered overkill if all you want to do is display a single application. In this chapter we will look at displaying individual applications on a remote system.

-Secondly, the system on which the application is being run (as opposed to the system which the application is to be displayed) must be configured to allow SSH access. Details on configuring SSH on an Fedora Linux system can be found in the chapter entitled [[Configuring Fedora Linux Remote Access using SSH]]. Finally, SSH must be configured to allow X11 Forwarding. To verify this load the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file into an editor and make sure that the following directive is set:
