Ive searched and nothing quite answered my question. Mostly because im not sure what to search for. Does anyone know of a program that would allow me to add a display on a separate computer over a network as a display i could use. Let me clarify.

I want to be able to drag windows off my screen and have them appear on the screen of a computer over a home network without there being a VGA/DVI or physical connection between the computers other than a LAN cable. Does something like this exist?

I mostly tend to use the same method each time as it suits how i work/what i need to get done. As with all things Linux there are many ways to do the same thing..

Example-
i'm sat on linux box 'A' with ip address 162.16.133.112 and i want a program called 'vmsa' to pop up on a machine 'B' 3 floors up that has ip address 162.16.133.201.

just type-
DISPLAY=162.16.133.201:0.0
export DISPLAY

then when you run vmsa it pops up on machine 'B'.

Does that help ??

That is very close to what i want. But would you happen to know if there is a way where you could simply drag a window, say off the top of the screen of computer A to the screen of computer B or is that asking too much.

Thank you for the quick reply
