Supposedly, one of the great things about a UNIX system is that multiple users can connect to it from remote locations and do work simultaneously. What work? Isn't there a way to be able to launch and use some of the neat applications that come with KDE, for example? Is there another way of connecting besides telnet, that would serve this purpose? I've set up some accounts on my FreeBSD box for people I work with but at the moment, I'm at a loss for showing them some neat things they can do. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
