Hi all,

I just thought I’d throw this out there are find out how other people  
tackle this issue.

We currently run a WinXP based SOE in my organisation.

I do most of my Ruby development on a remote Fedora-4 box.

What I’d really like to do is develop code with Eclipse/RDT but execute  
and debug the code on the remote server, using the remote environment.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I’ve already thought of using X, but I’m not sure this is such a great  
idea security wise.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are you using X over SSH? If not, that might be an idea. If so,  
what’s insecure about X over SSH, 'cause I use that a lot.
