Fish rocks

I've just been enlightened to a brilliant ssh wrapper, native in KDE. FISH, basically you can load and save files to/from ssh in any application in KDE using the fish://www.myhost.com/... It's the coolest thing ever. If I open a file in KDevelop from some remote server using fish, every time a save that file it's saved to the remote server! 😃

For system admin ssh X11 forwarding - is dam good!

You can remotely kick off any installed x-windows app on your server via ssh and the GUI window will appear on your desktop - with only minor lag.

( mind you I wouldn't advise trying this with gimp 😃 )

I've done it with the Gimp. Performance wasn't bad actually. Of course, I was on a semi-dedicated 1 Gig Fibre line at the time.

I had a P-II 350 workstation with 256 Meg ram, and a Dual P-III 750 MHz machine with 1.5 Gig of ram, and was editing a HUGE (100Meg raw) file.

I went from 40 to 50 second load times to 3 seconds.

This was back in the Red Hat 6.2 days, and I didn't have to do anything other than ssh in and start the gimp to get it to work. That same weekend, our Windows SA spent about 20 hours getting Windows TS set up and running, and was bragging to me how cool it was. All the while I was sitting the saying, "uh huh" and "yep" while editing the picture. When I pointed out what I was doing, it took a while for him to accept that all I'd done to make it work was ssh in and run the gimp. 🙂 Poor guy.
