title: How can I run an OpenGL application installed on a linux machine from my windows machine?
body: <p>In the spirit of being helpful, this is a problem I had and solved, so I will answer the question here. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Problem</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have:</p>
  
  <p>An application that has to be installed on on Redhat or SuSE enterprise. </p>
  
  <p>It has huge system requirements and requires OpenGL.</p>
  
  <p>It is part of a suite of tools that need to operate together on one machine.</p>
  
  <p>This application is used for a time intensive task in terms of man hours.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to sit in the server room working on this application.</p>
  
  <p>So, the question came up... how do I run this application from a remote windows machine?</p>
  
  <p>I'll outline my solution. Feel free to comment on alternatives. This solution should work for simpler environments as well. My case is somewhat extreme.</p>
