hey pluggers, so i'm back home in CA right now hanging out at my mom's house, which means i'm typing into a putty ssh terminal on a windows98 box. anyways, i brought a dvd from PA with me that i was hoping to be able to play on her computer's dvd drive. however, she doesn't seem to have any dvd decoding software or hardware, and i can't find anything on the net that is both "free" (in the most open-ended, least "free" sense of the word) and doesn't have some kind of 10 minute playback limitation. does anyone have any experience with this? i miss my linux box :( also, along similar lines, i have a small number of apps i want to xforward from PA onto this windows box, and i'm looking for some kind of program that will let x-fordwarded programs show up on my desktop like any other app. i've used xwin32 in the past and it more or less does what i want, but i'll rue the day that i ever have to pay for crappy windows software again! plus, the nag screens and time limit on xwin32 are just obnoxous. anyway, thanks for any info, and greetz from CA, sean Attachment:
