<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Mayank,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> I'm
a bit confused. Do you want to run a desktop gis through a web interface,
or be able to perform some GIS functions similar to a desktop gis
through a web interface ? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> It
sounds like you want to be able to run a specific GIS software remotely
as a thin client, but though a web interface. I believe that you
can accomplish remote access via Citrix through a web interface.
The upcoming NX 4.0 software should also offer this web based thin
client access.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> You
can thin client into windows computers via rdesktop ( available on most
linux distributions) or via the NX client, </font><a href=http://www.nomachine.com/documents.php><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://www.nomachine.com/documents.php.
You can also set up one of the various flavors of VNC services on
windows or linux. you can alos set up NXserver on linux and access
it from Windows, Mac, or Linux. ( Supposedly there is a version of nxserver
for windows in the works) . If you are going linux to linux, you
can use ssh with X forwarding on and have the program execute remotely
but display locally.</font></a>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> If
you want to make a web interface look and act like a desktop gis with access
to all of the commands in say, GRASS, then I think you've got a fair bit
of web programming ahead of you.</font>

Thanks a lot Doug,<br>
But will it help Desktop GIS to act as a web based GIS?<br>
