Blogging Ottinger (tim)XMing
I want to brag on XMing. It lets your Windows computer be an X terminal, so you can use all manner of Linux or Unix GUI applications in a pretty straightforward way.
It works quite well with putty and is far better easier to set up than the normal Cygwin dealio (even though it really *is* the normal cygwin X dealio).
I have friends using various X products, and this little free program seems to be easier to deal with. It installs quickly, runs well, and I’ve not seen any problems with it so far. It’s another nice way to survive being in Windows for a short period of time.
Mingw is not half bad either. Quick and easy to install, not troublesome to use.
