Raymond Law <rlaw@vt.edu> types: > I know I can use xhost to display the GUI on a local machine from a > remote machine. But how can I display X on a windoz box? Others have mentioned installing a X server on Windows, and I don't know of any non-commercial solution. A second alternative is to install a vnc server on your Unix system (it's in the ports), and the viewer on Windows. This gives you an X session in a window on the Windows box, which may be sufficient, and both are free. For the truly perverse, you can also install the viewer on a Palm. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
