The book includes detailed discussions on how to use fonts, how to install new fonts, and font management for improving desktop display during an X11 session. This reference delves into X11 s technical capabilities and shows remote client execution, remote session startup via dial-in or a network, and multiple-session management. You will also receive loads of security tips, details about host choosers, and remote booting.
