There is cygwin, with its Xwin Packages. Look at http://x.cygwin.com Another option, especially if its over the net and you don't mind installing some server sided software is to use NX. You can download the free (as in speech) freenx on the server from http://freenx.berlios.de/ The free (as in beer) client is downloadable from http://www.nomachine.com Cheers, Scott -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Hello, I assume since you mention putty you're talking about running X applications displayed on MS-Windows? Note that this type of software is technically called an X server - not client. (The client is the program you're actually running on the remote system.) The meanings of server and client are slightly backwards when it comes to the X Window system. I typically used Cygwin and Cygwin/X . It is free software and easy to install. You can do exactly as you say and forward the displays using putty (or just use the cygwin ssh client which is easy to install once you have the cygwin environment configured). --Jeremy -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
