All you need to connect from Windows is an X server, which is the graphical "canvas" that client applications running on the remote machine use to draw and receieve input. The X protocol is quite mature and is an open protocol, so there's nothing that says that the clients must be Linux or even Unix.
There are quite a few commercial X servers for Windows. Xceed and X-Win Pro are two that I've used. I had the best results with X-Win Pro several years ago... the product name changed to WinaXe, I believe. Google will help you find them. A free X server can be installed with the Cygwin project, which is a project to give Windows some of the software of Linux in a sort of compatability layer. If all this is new to you, you may want to tinker with XWin Pro or Xceed first and then later try to use Cygwin/XFree86. I'm not sure about anonymous access, however; I've never tried that. I assume that you could set up the display manager (GDM or KDM, the software on the server that handles the logins) to allow anyone in. That would be a major security risk, though, so make sure you have a really secure network. -Todd On Tue, 2004-01-20 at 20:30, Hersh Registrations wrote: > Is there any way to log onto a Linux Terminal Server from a Windows > machine?
