Aloha,
As someone pointed out you can use Cygwin with X as an X terminal.
For remote admin of a linux/unix box that's pretty handy. By invoking
this command from Cygwin before starting X:
x -broadcast
you get a window that contains the whole remote desktop. Is there a way
to create multiple separate such windows/desktops on one Cygwin system?
That would be mighty handy for admining multiple machines.
Try X :0 -broadcast, X :1 -broadcast, etc. For more information, see
man XWin.
Oops, sorry, I meant man Xserver. Also, you might want to investigate
the -query option instead of -broadcast, to have finer grained control
of which machines you'll be connecting to.
