Dude, if you're a unix/linux guy, and you don't know about Cygwin, do yourself a favor and check it out. You get a big chunk of the gnu utilities. At this point, the X server can even run in a sort of "rootless" mode (before it was a lot more like VNC, oddly enough. :) With cygwin, you can get bash on windows. Granted, there's not a whole lot of command line stuff, but I use it all the time for rsyncing, etc. If you develop, I believe you get all of the GNU toolchain for building (gcc, make, etc.). So, if an app isn't already ported to cygwin, you can port it yourself. > It doesn't meet my need for safety to connect a naked Win box to th > Internet anyway. I have a 486 Linux box for that.

Well, if you don't /have/ a spare box, or don't know how to run linux, then you probably have one of those "Cable/DSL routers". In that case, being able to forward just port 22 to sshd on windows, and thereby encrypt your data (as well as get access to all the other ports) > > Putty does kick a lot of ass tho. :) > > Yep. It's what makes Windows *useable* for me. > Wish it would just run from the DOS prompt tho. ;) You definitely should check out cygwin. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
