Looking for X Servers on WinNT
Martin Chisholm
poses this query:
"I have two computers for home use: a 486 Linux box and a P166 NT
machine. I want to be able to run Linux programs and NT programs
simultaneously. Since Windows was never designed to display things remotely, I have
the monitor and keyboard on the NT box. I figure that running an
X-Server is my solution. I have tried MicroImages MI/X, but I didn't like it. It was okay for
xterms, but was lousy for graphical programs (such as XEmacs). I found
VNC to be fairly slow, and it had some weird quirks.
I am currently using StarNet's XWin32 demo, and except for the 2-hour
limit, I am pleased with it. I have heard good things about
Hummingbird's Exceed, but it seems pricy.
However, before I shell out money, I want to Ask Slashdot the
following: What is a good Win32 X-Server at a reasonable price? Or is
there some alternative? Did I simply not give MI/X and VNC a fair
chance?"
