I installed the Redhat 9 small and VNC server, from the VNC viewer I can only see one terminal window but I cannot move that xterm window. When I run the command "xterm &", the new term covered the same place, so no matter how many xterm I run, I can only see one on the top and I cannot move them. I usually use richer desktop like gnome but how can I configure my linode so I can move the xterm to see a couple of them at the same time?
Thanks!
You are running X windows without a window manager. Lovely, isn't it?
A simple window manager is twm. It's what I run all the time (properly customized of course), the default configuration works well enough for very simple stuff. In your xterm, type:
twm &
And twm will start. Then you can move windows around and resize them. There are other window managers that you can run manually too; I suggest twm only because it's just about guaranteed to be installed on your system, and it is very lightweight.
