SAS running under X can has some default settings that make it different (and to some, less convenient) than running SAS on Windows. Most users will want to reconfigure various preference/settings each time they start SAS or save such preferences if they plan to work with SAS on Cruncher often.

Don't forget!

 * To use X tunneling (-X on the ssh command)
 * End of line differences between Windows and Unix
 * This will affect CSV and (fixed format) text files that contain data


 * The X running on your PC or Mac acts as a SERVER (not client)
