You can, if by "network" you mean low latency LAN. Modern network remoting protocols work over high latency WANs as well, which X11 fundamentally can't do because too much of the protocol requires synchronous round-trips.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoYou can run X over a WAN with the eyecandy turned off. It could be run over a slow modem. The problem lies in everything that was tacked on assuming it would only be used locally.
