Hi Lincoln,<br>
<br>
I don't have a good answer to your question; but if you get stuck
having to use x11 forwarding, try using the -C switch to SSH. :-)<br>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I know there are GUI frontends to yum, such as KPackageKit, that I can use on RPM-based systems to manage and install packages. But does anyone know of such a GUI tool that can do that on a remote host?
Google hasn't turned up anything, but it doesn't seem like it should be a particularly unusual problem.
If possible, I'd like to avoid using X11 forwarding or VNC to run a
GUI tool on the remote host because it's connected to a slow DSL line.
Thanks.
