For yrs I've connected to remote machines and ran the on host emacs via ssh connection. Sometime connecting with with emacs to the remote host with tramp. But I've never really tried to make the remote emacs run in gui form on the local display.. Just using emacs as -nw when using ssh. I'm running gentoo linux on a home lan with opensolaris and windows hosts present. What variables need to be in place to run the emacs installed on the remote... and make it appear in gui format on my local desktop. (I'm not taking about involving windows machines in this) I know about permitting X in ssh_config and sshd_config or even with the ssh cmdline -X but as I recall other things need to be adjusted too. And too, is it even worthwhile doing, like is it annoyingly slow or something? I have gigabit lan in most cases and 10/100 is the slowed that might come up. And it is a very low usage lan. Can someone walk me through that kind of connection?
