List, I have been monitoring the XFree86 list for a while now. They have been working through the bugs with the Open Source X Server for Windows. There is finally a version that works pretty well under NT and Windows2000. I am using it to display the DM on my laptop. I do not have all the font issues resolved yet, but I am new to X and such things as font directories and the like. You can find more general information at http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ The specific install instructions are at http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/howto/cygwin-xfree-ug.html See the section on setting up Cygwin/XFree86. The latest executable from the developer is at http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/ There are also some screen shots of remote gnome and KDE. I have run the OpenLook window manager from the Sun box on the server to give the familiar blue background, but running a remote window manager gives sub-optimal performance. If you have questions, search the mailing list archives at http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/. If you ask a question to the list, make sure you search the archives first. The developers that answer the list questions are terse with newbie questions that are in the archives. I like the idea of using Apache to provide information to users in your organization because it does not tie up DM licenses, but if you need an X server on the cheap, keep an eye on this one. It is still a bit early for general consumption, but it looks like their next release will be worth the trouble.
