Yes, the XF86 I was referring to is a part of the Cygwin download. As for turning things on on the server, if you have it set up to boot into run level 5 (gui login) then most of the work is done. You have to edit a couple of lines to switch on the server to allow X connections from other hosts. I know the info is in the SDB, so try this out http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/remotex_80.html.
You can download the entire Cygwin offering to a server share, and then just install the components you need onto the clients from there. The whole thing is quite substantial, but for this job you only need xf86 and a few other basic elements. Read the Cygwin docs, they are actually quite interesting.
At one time, I had VNC working perfectly for this, but have been unable to duplicate that success in recent attempts. I just get the grey screen of nothingness, and can't seem to get it to kick off properly. So now I just use Cygwin.
As for running this from a Quad 450 w/1GB RAM, you should be pleasantly pleased with the performance, you spawny git.
Bye for now, Stuart.

Hi Stuart thanks for your help I will try and set up the way you suggested, I had all ready previously tried to set up XFree86, and what I did was to set up the X-Server on the NT box's but couldn't get them to connect to the SuSE v8 box. I am not quite sure how to locate X executable on Windows though, I haven't seen this program is it part of the Cygwin/XFree86 that can be downloaded. The server that I have is a Quad 450 mhz with 1 geg of Ram, and I need to run 20 machines of it.
I have also tried to install VNC but without success I not quite sure what I am doing wrong.
