Cygwin is nice, but it takes a little bit effert to set up.
You could try FreeNX instead. It's also in the CentOS repositories
# yum install nx freenx
> Install NX Viewer from http://nomachine.com
# copy ~nx/.ssh/client_id_dsa.key to c:\program files\NX Viewer\Share
(or whereever you installed the client)
Then you'll have a nice and easy way to access X sessions.
(There is a nice article at
