I don't know why this posting would have been _rejected_ (should have
been held for manual approval as a non-subscriber posting), but it
somehow didn't transit the list, so I'm forwarding manaully.

FYI, you-all can make any alternate (non-subscribed) sending address
postable (without your postings being held for approval) by subscribing
it and setting that subscription's 'nomail' option.

Hi Rick,

My email address is listed as ajd at adavies.net on the server so this message
will probably be rejected by the list.  Anyway, I have a Ubuntu box that I
do most things from when I'm at home.  However, these days I'm a student at
Harvard Extension and have a air that I use to take notes on and such.

You're conversation regarding "screen" made me stop and thinks perhaps
there's a better way to do things.  Currently I use ssh -X to get into my
box and then just run the aps over ssh.  Is there an easy way to get my full
desktop on my air over ssh?

I've taken a look at the screen website, perhaps I just need some sleep, but
I wasn't finding a way to actually pull up the desktop.  Probably something
very simple I missed.  However, would you be willing to share the step
you've taken to set this up?

Kind regards,
Alan Davies-Gavin
