I have used Xming and it works fine on a LAN. It is painful over the Internet. The problem is that it just turns your Windows box into an X server and then streams all of the X traffic across the network. NX performs MUCH better. On the LAN, you can't tell you are not on the local server, and over the Internet, the lag is barely noticeable most of the time. -- Bowie _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
