- Am also an absolute beginner....and found the same 'hack'....:-)
-
- But IMHO, this is not really a good trick. As the wm runs on the host
- machine, the informations that transit over the net are considerably
- larger than in the case where mwm is on your Linux machine.
-
- Am I wrong?
-
- The other solution to have mwm on your Linux is to buy the mwm sources
- at OSF and adapt it to your Linux...Quite expensive, but maybe not
- impossible for big research centers or education sites.....
-
- Did someone try that?
