Yeah, ssh -X is a sinch (and vanilla telnet sets $DISPLAY correctly). We
can look at editing .xinitrc to bring up a WM-less xterm for running a
whole desktop remotely, and maybe rsh and the like (not too familiar with
that though).

That would be ideal for a live demo -- we can show the basics, then maybe
look at Cygwin, and I'll put Apache and WeirdX on my box so we can
possible demonstrate X through an IE window (no extra software needed).  
I'll write up a small sheet explaining how to get it running too, which
people can take away.

Any other ideas?

Mike
