I have a master Linux computer with several Cinnamon window manager options set.
How can I replicate this setting to a new machine?
I am installing the following on a low memory system:
vnc4server xinetd xterm openbox obconf
I will only occasionally be logging into the vncs for some admin work. My question is:
1) Does xinetd take memory / cpu even when vncserver is not running? If so, can I "run" xinetd on demand (how)? And if no, any idea how much memory it will take when vncserver is not running?
2) Does vncserver take substantial memory when no clients are connected?
3) Do openbox/obconf take memory when vncserver is running but no client are connected?
4) Do openbox/obconf take memory when no vncserver is running?
thanks

I was wondering if there was a way to run Gnome (or XFCE) from either an X terminal thin client such as a netbook running only XWindows or even perhaps a Windows maching using Xming or X/Cygwin and have the Window manager and desktop hosted from an Linux server?
Also, could this host multiple Gnome/Xfce sessions simultaneousness?
From my limited experience, I have only run a window manager on the local machine (physical or virtual) in front of me. I can run applications from the remote machine but they use my local window manager.
A hypothetical situation would be a classroom where the professor wanted to demonstrate Linux but the room only has Windows and/or Mac computers. If the professor has a sufficiently powerful server, could all student experience the Gnome interface simultaneous using just a program like Xming to connect to the server?
