Hello to all of You,

I was hoping You might give some tips about a program to run on Windows (XP
is most important, when 98 SE is possible that is a plus) which would allow
me to work on a Linux (Gutsy Gibbon) computer over the network by means of
the X11 protocol. On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System I have
found several programs that will allow one to do that but I am not capable
of judging their quality and reliability being very unexperienced when it

install cygwin on the windows box, including the X11 sections.
open a cygwin bash window, execute the command 'startx'
when the xterm opens, execute the command 'xhost +<ip of linux machine>'

ssh to the linux box (such as with PuTTY or cygwin's ssh client)
export DISPLAY=<ip of windows box>:0
open x11 application(s)


or
install cygwin on windows box, including X11 sections
open a cygwin bash windows, edit /usr/X11R6/bin/startxdmcp.bat so that
REMOTE_HOST is set to the IP of your linux machine. Then execute
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxdmcp.bat.
