Hi all, I'm looking for a nice X server to run on my windoze box, as my server does not have a monitor anymore.... I found "MicroImages X Server" but it's old and i don't like it that much....
Requirements: 1) Plays nice with Debian Linux (potato) 2) Freeware, nag-free shareware, GPL? Ideas? Thanks, Nico de Haer ----- Original Message ----- From: Donald R.
