Use XFree86 on W98 to connect to Linux

[Harold L Hunt II]

Frank,

You can use XDMCP for a remote "session":

Or, you can launch individual clients with SSH (or you can even start a 
remote window manager which makes this very similar to XDMCP, including 
KDE... by using, for example, "startkde"):

I hope that helps,

Harold
