Xming better than cygwin/x

clipped from www.linux.com Use Linux over Windows with Xming One of the nice things about the X Window System is its ability to display X apps running remotely on a local machine. One of the not-so-nice things about Microsoft Windows is the complete lack of native support for displaying X applications. If you find yourself working on Windows but wanting to use Linux apps at the same time, Xming can do the job. Xming is a port of X Window System to Microsoft Windows that's free and easy to use. Xming is easy to use and provides an excellent X server for folks who have to run Windows. Since it's free software, it's also much better for the budget than commercial X servers for Windows, and it enjoys fairly frequent releases, so it should be around for some time to come.
