Ok now I would like to share another experience in developing a new desktop, running under Mac OS X Tiger in my Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook, to support my work in the office as an IT staff.  This time I would like to explain how we could run our X-Windows Application running in UNIX/Linux machine remotely, in our Mac OS X Tiger’s Desktop.

Fist thing that must be done is installing the X11 terminal in your Tiger. By default (in Mac Book) this terminal would not be installed yet in the OS. You can install it from your OS Tiger’s Installer CD, which is included in MacBook CD Package. See the step by step of this installation here.  

Then after finishing the installation, go to the Utilities Directory and find X11.app Terminal that has been installed before. Run it, and then type this comment below

$xhost <your local Mac IP Address>
<Your local Mac IP address> being added to access control list
$ ssh -X <username>@<server IP address>
password:<your password>
…
…
…
[You are in the UNIX/Linux console]
[try to run a X-Window  Application such as xclock]
$xclock

Here is the result:

Now, Enjoy your X-Window Application Running in your Mac OS X Tiger Desktop.

Regard,
Co-that
