HI:

Do you have any suggestion about X window emulatro running on WinXP?
Exceed(from Hummingbird) is good but it is not free.

Any simple, free ...... software?

Cygwin. You can install XFree86 under cygwin, start it up, and redirect traffic to it like you would the commecial ones.

You could also use the trial version of WinaXe. It works fine. The only real limitation of the trial version is that it forces you to restart it every 30 minutes. Other than that it works great.

Well, I highly recommend VMware Workstation 4.0, it's not free, but it's worth the price. It's both available for Windows and Linux. WMware support all versions of Windows, UNIX's, Linux's and Mac's. I use it under Windows and Linux and I rate it as rock solid and reliable.
You can try the demo from : http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_features.html

I use X-win32 for my XP machine. It is free if you don't mind it crapping out on you every 30 minutes. If you don't buy a license the trial copy only works for 30 mins. Not a bad solution for me since I only need it periodically.

EDIT: 30 minutes at a time I should say

It will restart if double click it and last another 30...

I second Cygwin. And besides providing XFree86 on Windows, Cygwin makes Windows bearable by providing a lot of the apps Linux folks are used to and most others can be compiled on it without any changes to the source.

I like cygwin, but it has it's downfalls. I have run it on XP and found it to be an incomplete solution. X didn't run at all. I am sure I could have played with it but my focus was hacking native perl so I gave up quickly and ran if from the CLI. As far as getting a GUI to run...get ready t fool with it.

I personally have no use for Windows of any version other than stinking up my room since the XP disks are in here somewhere. I use cygwin on a computer at school, and though I only have the basic terminal going, it helps makes working in Windows a little more bearable.

I'd say go for the Cygwin idea, because it's free and clearly what you're asking for plus some.

Actually it is not CLEARLY what he/she is LOOKING for, they CLEARLY asked for a similar product to exceed, which my suggestion for X-win32 was.

Since this thread is still high up in the google results I'm going to add a suggestion - Xming - http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ Free basic X server for windows.

No answer, Im new to linux and still familiarizing myself along with motivating self to compiling and source coding.
