a) It is not possible to log into a BaseX database running on a remote server from a GUI running on a different machine?
b) Do I need any particular Linux distribution / GUI version to run the BaseX Linux GUI?
Many thanks,
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
a) No, that's not possible. The visualizations rely on a tight coupling with the database; socket communication would be too slow.
b) BaseX works with all Linux distributions that have a JRE.

You can probably also do it the other way round, setting DISPLAY and running BaseX on the server system with its display pointing to your system, e.g, using an ssh tunnel so you don't need to expose your system to the raw Internet. See e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/20 3173/run-application-on-local-machine-and-show-gui-on-remote-display for using ssh -X or -Y to the server. You have to arrange for your X server to listen for remote connections I think.
b) Do I need any particular Linux distribution / GUI version to run the BaseX Linux GUI?
No. I use Mageia Linux under Gnome 3, but as Christian said, you just need Java.

Many thanks, this makes sense.
