Does anyone have a KVM they like? Is anyone using a USB KVM successfully on Linux?


I had a rather nice and rather expensive HP KVM switch. I was working for HP at the time which is why I had it. Of the several different ones we had kicking around the office it was the only one that didn't badly degrade the video (which I think was 1600x1200). It is very expensive though.

Lately, I've been considering abandoning the KVM route in favor of just
running X sessions thru a ssh tunnel to headless boxes.


That's what I did in the end. It's generally cheaper and more reliable.

Does anyone know of a reliable and inexpensive X client for a W2K
environment? W2K is the stumbling block. I need that platform for one
telephony application and therefore the W2K box has to be my gateway to the
other boxes.

Is anyone running headless boxes and using X/SSH to work on them reliably?


I like cygwin. Cygwin's X server (I think you do mean server here and not client) is also quite good. It supports XDCMP so there's a chance that you could get a Red Hat box to put a login screen up. I haven't used it much myself but I'd say it's well worth trying out.
