win32 x server? Does a free one exist?


Hey there. I'm working on a solution for remote access to my linux box via ssh over the Internet. While remote I must use a Windows XP. I have it working perfectly except for one small fact. I'm using a demo version of MicroImages X Server which only lasts 15 days. I was wondering, does a free X Server exist for Win32 platforms?

If I must I'll buy the one I'm using now as it's by far the cheapest. But, why buy unless I have to?

Thanks,

Brian

You could use TightVNC and view your computers X server via that.
