If you, like me, are sick of having to restart the XServer when you undock/dock your laptop in order to get the display to reconfigure (ok, so I've only undocked once since I installed Linux; still, I was bugged), your days of wo are numbered.

SSH is a great protocol that allows secure connections to remote systems. It's easy to use, gives you terminal access to the system in question and allows you to function as you would were you at the machine itself -- in the terminal. But, if you want to see actual windows, thru a GUI window management system like Gnome, for instance, you need to enable X11 forwarding.
