For my RHEL4 on a VM guest, all I can see is using emacs through putty

Linux on your desktop is good. If you "must run Windows" then Linux
under virtual PC might do.
This follows on from another response I thought I made, but don't see. mail!
One can tunnel this through ssh:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xserver/xserver/hw/kdrive/ephyr/README?view=markup
Its "just like" VNC; I did this on my Kubuntu box:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xephyr
Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600 &
export DISPLAY=:1
startkde&
One can, of course, refine this. In principle, any number of users can
connect to the one IP address/port number, authenticate themselves
however you deem appropriate, and run their choice of desktop.
It didn't seem especially brisk, though, and in view of later comments I
suggest doing your development principally on an Intellish desktop, only
building and testing on the zeds when particular milestones are met
(even if it's only a clean compile). It might also be worth checking out
cross-building tools.
