[NBLUG/talk] GUI tools to install RPMs on remote hosts?

[Scott Doty]

Hi Lincoln,

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. :-)

    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.
