How do I do it ? ~ ~ AFAIK, that's not possible without a drastic re-implementation of the ~ X server as well as gvim. You might be able to get the window on ~ machine B, in principle. But how do you migrate the state of gvim ~ itself? The contents of the buffer, for example, are completely ~ unaware of X and vice versa. The closest Akhilesh can get is VNC I guess. Mandrake in perticular has great support for it, you can export the currect session using VNC, which I have not yet figured out how to do in SuSE for example [KDE's krfb sucks as it only allows to connect to your desktop within an hour of creating an invitation; is there any Gnome counterpart? Though KDE's Remote Desktop Connection Client is completely awesome!] Mandrake is supposed to be the easiest distro for newbies, with URPMI matching apt from Debian with some very nice repositories. I am surprised people here dont use it much. Unlike SuSE and probably Redhat its completely GPL too.
