IV Needle Injecting Tech into the Vein

Using Xming to export windows

Sometimes it's useful to use a GUI on linux for a specific task.  I came across this because of some things Oracle does, but you can use it for other things, too.

1. Download xming from sourceforge

2. Open putty

3. Go to the SSH section>X11>Enable X11 forwarding

4. Open a connection

5. Run a command for something that only runs in a gui, like gedit.

6. The gedit window will appear on your desktop.
