You could purchase a (not cheap) Xserver for windows called X-Win32 and use X over ssh. This works very well. I do this. You need a fast connection if you do this over the internet though. Play with ssh compression on and off. If you want a cheaper solution you could setup Cygwin on the Windows box. Not sure how well it will work. I haven't played around much with X in cygwin. X-Win32 works really well, however to me it is a little expensive. But, it is the best X Server I have seen for Windows yet. You won't have a remote desktop either. But, what you will be able to do is run the remote graphical applications. I used this more than VNC or remote desktops. The apps appear to run right on your Windows machine (except for saving and editing files for course).

I used vnc to connect to linux before. The bad thing is you get another desktop which is not the local one. Another bad thing about vnc is it's slow. Sometimes you have to refresh manually. cs@xxxxxxxxxx wrote: >On 14:04 23 Oct 2003, Ding Li <achillis2002@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >| Try rdesktop. I'm using it, pretty cool.
