Remote X desktop


Okay I have done most of the dirty work on this one and have my X server broadcasting XDMCP. I have a M$ XP computer starting a session fine for the most part (I just need to fiddle with the screen size). Now the real problem seems to be a FREE remote x client (not sure if I'm using the right term. I have seem the same think refered as a X server). The one I have right now craps out on 60 uses or something stupid like that. Anyone know of any free remote X clients for windows I can download? I'm a student and don't have the $120- $530 to buy a perament versions

Another option I was thinking about which would negate a half of days work is to use VNC. I ran across it googleing for free remote x clients.

Any idea or suggestions are very much welcomed

Take a look at cygwin. You can also use VNC - Out of the flavors of VNC I would use TightVNC.
