The Cygwin XFree86 port is great! It beats buying a commercial Xserver. It's also great to get bash and basic GNU utilites on Windows. IIRC, you also get an ssh client. I set my Linux server to accept XDMCP connections and created a script on the Windows box that established the connection using the options described in the Cygwin XFree86 docs. Then a shortcut on my Windesktop made it easy to establish a GUI login to the Linux server whenever I need one. Tony - -- Anthony E.
