In general, it is not recommended that you use an X11 remote display for demanding interactive 3D graphics applications like Amira. However, in principle you can redirect the output of the Unix version to a remote display. For IRIX, HP-UX, and SunOS, the remote X server needs to support the GLX extension. Call xdpyinfo to find out whether your computer has that extension installed. Then simply set the DISPLAY variable and start Amira.
