But problem with vnc is that it creates a lot of network traffic. If
that is not the constraint for you, you can go for vnc. Otherwise best
option is to go for an X server like Cygwin(free) or Exceed. In this
case, X server runs on your client machine (local machine that you are
using to access remote machine) and X client runs on the server side
(remote machine that you are trying to access).

So in a way load sharing also happens with cygwin kind of solution.
While in case of vnc, this doesn't take place ie. X server and X client
both run on the remote machine and final graphics data
is sent to you.

Should bandwidth is never a problem, vnc works fine. Easy to configure.

Thank you.

I did this now. And I can connect to text terminal without problems. But
when I type xterm, I get following error message:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display

What do I do wrong? Please help
