To make this as painless as possible for the windows users, and to show
that Linux/gEDA/PCB are not toys I'm planing on setting up a server that
can run gEDA/PCB using TightVNC over the network.  Has anyone ever done
something like this before with (Tight)VNC?  I was able to demo to the
    

boss
  

using his Internet Explorer under Windows to run PCB over the network
    

using
  

the server built into TightVNC.
    

I use tightVNC to my headless linux box for pcb. It works well, but not
perfect.

I also run pcb under cygwin on a windows box at work. With the new X server,
the PCB window is just another window on the pc desktop.

We are doing similar things here with gschem running on Solaris, and being displayed on a Winodows box running Cygwin-X.  All indications are that this works fine.
