xterminal help needed

[McDougall, Marshall (FSH)]

In my situation, I run KDE or Gnome from my windows box.  I am using exceed
as my X server on my desktop.  I then ssh to my Linux box and run:

/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession&

And that gets me KDE or gnome at my desk.  Again, situation is different,
but the concepts should apply. HTH

Regards, Marshall

Hello,

I am trying to get the gnome interface to come up on a Redhat 
workstation.  I have two systems a big system down the hall and a 
workstation at my desk.  I do not want to use VNC, but I believe there 
this approach is a better way.  So I want to use the workstation as an 
Xterminal.  I remember the last time I did this a few years ago all I 
had to do was execute a command or two.  What I am saying is I forgot 
how to do this.  I have done research on the web but have come up empty 
because everything I read were to complex for such a simple task, or did 
not work.  I have gotten xclock and the xterm program to work,  for 
example to work but I cannot remember how to bring up the desktop 
environment.  I have set the DISPLAY variable to FQDN:0.0 on the big 
system, I believe the question I am asking what do I run and on which 
system, to get the desktop on the workstation?
