Terminal-ssh
I have a question in regards to the (Terminal) program,
I have just purchased my macbook and I need to explain my line of work to reach my point
I am student that works on a Linux server for my graduate study, of course I access my server either through (ssh) or a program we use called (no machine-NX) which is basically a remote desktop.
I use windows OS and/or Linux OS’s to connect to my server. The most favorite Linux OS I use is Linux mandriva:
http://www.mandriva.com/
It has a really good graphical interface.
Now when I ssh with mandriva and connect to my server (and I have not seen this done with other Linux OS’s) I have the ability to open my server’s graphical interfaces within mandriva itself. For example (and not limited to) when you type gedit file_name a text editor is opened in mandriva. Also other graphical visualization programs open inside mandriva, and these programs are not installed in mandriva.
When I bought my new macbook, I tried to do the same thing, but I get an error (“Can’t open display”).
Now is there a way I can make this work in mac or that is not possible. By the way this feature is only exclusive to mandriva (I think, but I’m not sure) I have tried ubuntu and SUSE, and they do not have this ability.
If this ability does not exist in mac OS, I think this should be an interesting topic to point out to the software developers in apple.
Thanks for your time in reading this question.
