I use LTSP to run a diskless Linux workstation. I'm running two Windows programs on top of it regularly (two dictionaries). And they work exactly the same as they work on the main machine. I have also tried some other programs too, and never seen any difference beetween the local and the remote machine (wrt this). So it works pretty good. I dont know for what the above cygwin and double ssh is needed. I dont need it :) Regards Zsolt
