Re: Remote code and compile with GUI from Windows to Linux?

I have a multi-programmer project coming up. The application will be compiled, run and tested on a remote Linux box.

There are three main paths here:

1. remote X windows. Your machine is ready to go (minus a bit of
settings), windows PC could be given X capabilities via installing
the X windows package that is part of Cygwin (www.cygwin.com).
2. Running multiple VNC server sessions on the remote linux box (look
in /etc/vnc*) and connecting to them. Easy for you (yum install
vnc), also very easy for Windows (www.tightvnc.com).
3. Running NX (www.freenx.com) on the remote server, giving you
mutiple sessions running on the remote server ala VNC. Clients
are readily available at www.nomachine.com.

I would go for the VNC solution to start as it is an easier install than NX. NX seems to have better handling of things like shift keys with the arrow key, and other subtleties of than VNC so convert over to it once you've figured out the install. The primary reason to choose VNC or NX over X is the resumability of sessions, but remember to plan additional amounts of swap space on the machine as you'll be pushing the machine harder with full remote sessions.
