securitybreach Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This sounds interesting: For the past few months I’ve been implementing an X11 server to run natively under Android. In the near future I may have need for a serializable user interface, so to get a better understanding of how they work I decided to implement the de facto standard, X11. Well, it turns out the X protocol is bigger than I thought, but through sheer bloody-mindedness I got it finished. And it might actually be useful. I had assumed that all internet-enabled smartphones would be sitting behind NAT-ing routers, both for security reasons and to conserve IPv4 addresses. But no, on the “3″ network in Australia at least, phones all have externally-accessible IP addresses, meaning they can run servers. So you could potentially launch a Linux X application out in the cloud and have it display on your phone....... http://my20percent.wordpress.com/2012/02/2...droid-x-server/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
