<p>In the spirit of being helpful, this is a problem I had and solved, so I will answer the question here. </p>

<p><strong>Problem</strong></p>

<p>I have:</p>

<p>An application that has to be installed on on Redhat or SuSE enterprise. </p>

<p>It has huge system requirements and requires OpenGL.</p>

<p>It is part of a suite of tools that need to operate together on one machine.</p>

<p>This application is used for a time intensive task in terms of man hours.</p>

<p>I don't want to sit in the server room working on this application.</p>

<p>So, the question came up... how do I run this application from a remote windows machine?</p>

<p>I'll outline my solution. Feel free to comment on alternatives. This solution should work for simpler environments as well. My case is somewhat extreme.</p>

Solution
I installed two pieces of software:
PuTTY
XMing-mesa
The mesa part is important.
PuTTY configuration
```
```
Connection->Seconds Between Keepalives: 30
Connection->Enable TCP Keepalives: Yes

Connection->SSH->X11->Enable X11 forwarding: Yes
Connection->SSH->X11->X display location: localhost:0:0
```
```
Lauching
Run
Xming
which will put simply start a process and put an icon in your system tray.
Launch putty, pointing to your linux box, with the above configuration.
Run program
Hopefully,
Success!
