export DISPLAY of entire desktop

export DISPLAY of entire desktop Posted by Steve Schofield on Sunday December 22, @06:43PM from the dept. I'm a newbie starting in the non-MS world(Yeh I know!). I'm wanting to bring up a FreeBSD system to host my backup mail server. what i need help on is export the entire desktop using X-Windows to my desktop machine. I've exported my entire desktop with Red Hat however Linux & Red Hat seem to have as many exploits these days as Windows OS. I already have to baby sit one OS, i need two. I'm able to export a specific program to my remote desektop machine based on the article here on this site but can't figure out how to do i launch my window manager(KDE, GNOME, afterStep) to my remote desktop machine. export DISPLAY=1.1.1.1:0.0 < | >

I posted this message using Konqueror. Thanks for the decent website, boy it looks like slashdot no matter. Also I meant to say up top i don't need two OS's to babysit. Windows is bad enough, I'm loving the FreeBSD so far. Boy you need to know your hardware though.
