Chris, You wanna ban this troll? Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: BULLSHIT NOT A GOOD EXPLAINATION USE FOR REMTELY CONNECTING TO A UNIX BOX N USE REMOTE APPLICATIONS. YA CAN DOWNLOAD FREE XSERVER FROM http://www.thecyborg.com/howto/xserver.html Fred, I actually use Cygwin/XFree86 to run xfig on my laptop while I am doing my math and computer science homework at the library. That is the most useful local app that I use. Other than that I tend to open XDMCP sessions to my linux boxen so that I can login and use KDE. That's about it. Harold fred wrote: Hello, I just ran Xfree86. Very, very nice. Just like sitting on the sun boxes at school. All the twm setup files and Xresources work the same. It was so alike (and tons faster) that I got carried away and starting to invoke apps like I do from school. That's where the similarity ended. All the apps fired up outside of Xwindows. That's OK, my relationship with windows is one of like-hate. It has some pretty handy features, but I tear my head off about some things. But, given that cygwin's X runs within Windows, and any apps you invoke fire up in MS windows (that's the way it should be because the apps were written to use the MS windows features), what do people actually use X for? I've found that despite the mighty coolness, all I do is open up an xterm and start an ssh tunnel to school, with port forwarding. Then I do everything else from MS windows. With the virtual scrolling of the touchpad, and the rather effortless cut-and-paste, I don't mind it at all. But it sort of makes me wonderwhy? Fred P.S. This is not a knock down of X on cygwin, I think it's really cool. It's astounding that it was even possible. I'm wondering if I'm not making as much use of it as I could.
