re: [SLE] anyone know of a free mswindows xwindows server
Cygwin has included Xfree86 for a year or so. http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/ Seems to work, but I found it very slow and quit using it. (I had a laptop I was trying it on. Acceptable on a better PC??) I believe the above provides both x-server and x-client capabilities. I have only tested it as a pure x-server. I was using SuSE as the x-client. --- Sorry to be pedantic, but ...

I need to port xwindows programs to a mswindows box. And I already know about vncserver - that won't work for our setup.

There's no such thing as X-windows. It's either X or X Window System.

I thought an x client was the actual app that "interfaced" with the server

I've used it on a 1700+ Althon based Windows box and it seemed OK to me. VNC solved my particular problem in a neater fashion, but I'd recommend the OP tries Cygwin/Xfree. It's dead easy to set up, so there's not much to loose by trying. -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003
