A while back the topic came up either in the IRC or on the list about wanting to run an X11 app on a Linux server, and view it on a windows machine. Someone suggested Cygwin, but I just came ac across something else that might do the trick. From their site: Xming X Server for Windows<http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/#sect-1>Xming is the leading free unlimited X Window server for Microsoft Windows (XP/2003/Vista). Xming is fully featured, small and fast, simple to install<http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/#head-13>and because it is standalone native Microsoft Windows, easily transported [image: [WWW]]portable <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_portable_applications>as a *Pocket PC X server*. It is totally secure when used with [image: [WWW]]SSH<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh>and optionally includes a special PuTTY SSH client <http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/#head-145> and a portable PuTTY replacement<http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/portableputty.php>. Xming is built <http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/building.php> for Microsoft Windows (32-bit x86) from [image: [WWW]]X.Org<http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki>source code kept current and secure with updates for [image: [WWW]]X11R7.3 <http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?o=age>, [image: [WWW]]XKB<http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig>, [image: [WWW]]FreeType2 <http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html> and [image: [WWW]]Freedesktop Bugzilla <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/>. My patches<http://www.straightrunning.com/Xming/>are applied and the code cross-compiled with [image: [WWW]]MinGW <http://www.mingw.org/> and [image: [WWW]]Pthreads-Win32<http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/> . Ongoing Xming development is essential because its predecessor projects, [image: [WWW]]Freedesktop Xming <http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming> and [image: [WWW]]Cygwin/X <http://x.cygwin.com/>, have lapsed. Xming is mostly a derivative work and has many licenses e.g. the zlib license, LGPLv2 for Pthreads, MIT/X11 for all PuTTY tools and the pixman library. The Xming server is licensed GNU GPLv2<http://www.straightrunning.com/Xming/COPYING>, but repackaging and/or redistributing any part (or whole) of the Xming website, documentation, images, executables or installers, by the internet, other projects/products or via media such as CD's, without asking permission, clearly acknowledging the contribution of 'Colin Harrison' and providing links to [image: [WWW]]StraightRunning.com/XmingNotes/<http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/>and [image: [WWW]]SourceForge Project Xming <http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming> will be regarded as a breach of copyright.
