[BozemanLUG] Linux to Linux Remote Desktop

[Robert Potter]

Thank you Scott. I will take a look at it then. Both machines are running
MATE so the fit then would be perfect. I did try NoMachine but it appears
that even though it uses SSH, you need the NoMachine service running on the
other end as well. Just seems like an extra layer that I shouldn't need if
I have Open SSH Server installed. Anyhow, thank you for the info.
