Thanks. I'd like to start with the cygwin idea. I am in the process of loading cygwin. I tried the default load and apparently that was insufficient to run watch-mimedefang. So, I added the whole X11 section and it's been downloading for an hour (I have a fast connection). I feel like I'm downloading half the Internet. Is there certain packages I need for cygwin to work? I tried to look through the list looking for tcl/tk but didn't find anything that looked promising.
Thanks in advance. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Les Mikesell Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 5:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Mimedefang] watch-mimedefang On 2/12/2010 4:54 PM, Cliff Hayes wrote: > Thanks. > > I don't have any linux servers with GUIs. Will it work with Windows? Yes, if you install a Windows X server - the free cygwin one will work. However, if you do much linux work, I'd recommend something slightly different. Pick a linux box near the servers - perhaps one where you do testing and development and install the 'freenx' package. Then install the NX client from www.nomachine.com on your windows desktop(s). This lets you run a complete Linux GUI desktop remotely in what appears to windows as a normal window so you get cut/paste between systems, etc. Besides being easier to install than most windows X packages, this also lets you disconnect the session and pick it up with everything still running, perhaps from a different client, and it is very efficient over low bandwidth connections. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
