Notes:
Open a remote browser
Let’s see what happens when I try to run a web browser remotely. The web
browser on the Raspberry Pi is called Midori, so this is what we need to enter
from the prompt after we connect remotely:
brian@raspberrypi:~$ midori &
[1] 5773
We need to include the “&” symbol after the program name because this tells
the server to launch it as a separate process, which means we get our command
line back.
We get the response “[1] 5773”, which is the process number of the Midori
program now running.
Sometimes you will get GTK errors, which report library shortcomings on host
(the RPi) or server (your X server) but the process is pretty robust.
