Windows client, linux X server

[Brad De Vries]

You are very close with the definitions you used.  The
only changes I would suggest is that the PC is
actually running the X-server because it's serving up
its screen, keyboard and mouse.  The system running
the X-windows system is actually called the X-client
because it runs the applications.  The easiest way for
me to remember these definitions is to remember
they're backwards from what I would initially think
would be the case.

Definitions not withstanding, here are a couple of
other options for you:

1) http://www.microimages.com/mix/
I've used this in 'demo' mode and it seems to work
well -- much faster than the standard VNC stuff and
it's only $25 to buy it.

2) http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/
I'd like to use this, it's free, but I haven't been
able to install it without all the other Cygwin stuff.

HTH,
Brad.
