How to enable remote XWindows on Portable Ubuntu
D/L and install portable Ubuntu from http://portableubuntu.sourceforge.net/
Click Applications, Accessories, Terminal [Alternately, you can also use the GUI to install new software. ]
issue the command: (root password is 123456 )
sudo apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg xterm x11-xserver-utils
shutdown Portable Ubuntu
Restart/Start Portable Ubuntu
Click Applications, Accessories, Terminal
at the prompt: (substitute user and domain.com with your system's values)
ssh -C -X user@domain.com
at the prompt:
xeyes&
If the eyes come up on your desktop, then it works...
For added security, you might want to install squid on a remote server for web caching, then tunnel web requests from remote to it.
You might also want to tunnel Pidgin traffic to your server.
ssh -C -L 3128:localhost:3128 -D 9853 user@domain.com
Change your browser settings to proxy over Port 3128 then then your
pidgin settings to socks5 proxy on Port 9853.
