Re: Xpra

Exactly. A whole new Linux distro can be made following your approach. The distro that I have had in mind since ages. A Linux distro that acts as a main box with a lot of little boxes inside. Each one is a vm with a different OS (FreeBSD,NetBSD,OpenBSD and so on). And Xpra installed on each virtual machine / distro. And in the main distro,using Xpra you can call all the different commands and applications that belong to each distro.

Something like this :

Firefox-FreeBSD.sh :

xpra --start-child=firefox-on-FreeBSD --exit-with-children start ssh:ssecem:15

Firefox-NetBSD.sh :

xpra --start-child=firefox-on-NetBSD --exit-with-children start ssh:ssecem:15

or even better,without creating a lot of shell scripts,maybe is enough to make a hard use of Aliases...

Thanks. But a full desktop is definitely what I do not want. This is the
great thing about Xpra: like good old remote X11, but fast and
detachable.
