Have you considered Co-linux?

I have it running on XP and 2000 desktops.

Basically it's a full Debian distro that runs inside Windows, I even 
installed KDE/IceWM/Gnome and used VNC viewer to show the GUI as a

Worked great for me as a way of running forwarded X sessions over SSH.

Oh and it's free too.  :-)
