It didn't - as we said earlier - if it can work for
you with your system/application then it can
work well.

Otherwise - you need an X server as before.

If you have 100's of Windows PCs that you
want to connect from, then is the cost of a license
for a Windows X server really an issue ?
I never buy Windows things - so don't know how
much it compares to buying Windows itself in the
first place :-)

... of course the usual thing applies here - if you
are using X anyway, you could always try to nab
some older machines to configure up as dedicated
X terminals ...

Alans original email sounded like it was more
of a one-to-one relationship, ie a way of using
his Linux account remotely, from his Windows
PC - hence the following discussion about VNC ...
