Better yet, try doing it on a remote machine on the other side of the world. While KVMs like a Dell DRAC or Sun LOM, and virtualization consoles help a lot, it's nice to be able to "ssh -X" to a remote machine and run that installer back to my local VNC server. If I had a decent X windows implementation locally, I'd use that instead of VNC. X had it's issues. But it's still alive and well - maybe because of Java ;) On 9/12/2017 8:52 PM, ron minnich wrote: > > > On Tue, Sep 12, 2017 at 5:30 PM Bakul Shah > wrote: > > Unix still needs a decent graphics API (ideally one that can work > over a network). > > > does anyone know or care about network graphics any more?
