Re: [Plug] freeware windows X server ? (was: Re: uncrippled win32 X server)


There are apparently 2 ports of ssh to cygwin32, and somebody's working on
a port of XFree86 to cygwin32.  I was only able to find the one port, and
the binary was statically linked to the library for an older version of
cygnus.  Haven't gotten it to work yet.  Dunno how functional the X server
is yet.

For those unfortunate people who are forced to use windows and don't know:
"The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools and
utilities for Windows 95, 98, and NT. They function by using the Cygwin
library which provides a UNIX-like API on top of the Win32 API."

Major port of unixness....
