Re: [Plug] This Rules...


Did you read what they wrote in the MSWord box?
This guy Xhosted someone else's desktop, who was running Linux and running
Windows through VMWare.. so the only costs there were Windows, VMWare, and
Word. :) No MS Windows X server involved in this screenshot.

I believe MicroImages X server and TWM (Tiny Window Manager) is a free X
server that works with Windows.. but I believe is it for running X apps on
A Win machine, and not the other way around...
I think you can do that with VNC too, there is even some sort of Java
thing that lets you view someone else's desktop in a Java capable web
browser. I think that's free, I'm not sure, but it works on a variety of
OS"s.
