windows box.

Presuming from your headers you are running Linux, you don't need
to install anything.

'ssh -CX remotehost' should give you a login with X11 forwarding
enabled through ssh. Any GUI app you start will open seamless on
your remote desktop securely transported through your ssh
connection, Apps that support docking will do the same if started
remote or not.

Apps aware of nas (network audio system) should be able to output
through your local sound card.

The XWindows System was designed form ground up with network
capabilities.

Of course there is no really need for any GUI to admin a Linux
server. Things can be done more efficient from the shell and with
a good editor (vi(m)), as if there would be another. ;-)

Good luck

I am using ssh to install software on remote linux server.
for root I am using>> ssh -CX remotehost
but I need also to login with other user for that what is the syntax
should I use on SSH?

Do your self a big favor, never ever login to your wm as root,
there is zero need to do so. You are running with risks that can
be easily avoided.

If you are using ssh-agent it certainly makes your life easier if
you just run as the same user as you use on other systems. Be
sure that at least your users UID is the same on all systems, the
username is meaningless, the UID is what matters. You can use
'man usermod' to change it if there are differences.

Hopefully there isn't a complete mess regarding UID/GID already.

$ ssh --help
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c
cipher_spec] [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F
configfile] [-i identity_file] [-L
[bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec]
[-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] [-R
[bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path] [-w
tunnel:tunnel] [user@]hostname [command]

There are two possibilities to login with another user as you can
see from the above:

[-l login_name] hostname or [user@]hostname

Full info can be found in the fine manual 'man ssh'.

Good luck
