Does Windows Vista Ultimate have built-in functionality to display graphics
from a remote Unix machine on a local Windows machine. In the past, I've had to purchase terminal emulators and do a bunch of hocus-pocus to get this to work properly. Any insight here would be appreciated. |

Ultimate Vista and Enterprise Vista include UNIX capabilities - whether or
not for your specific purpose? "kbedka" wrote in message ... Does Windows Vista Ultimate have built-in functionality to display graphics from a remote Unix machine on a local Windows machine.

You might look into using VMware or Virtual PC (from MS) and run Linux in a virtual session. Its possible VPC may not run Linux though. Check the documentation... http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/ I have not seen any X emulators for Vista yet, but they may exist...

I've found that xming is a great xserver, and its free. You can't ask for
much more! Ages ahead of the Cygwin X-Server. ~Philip "kbedka" wrote: Does Windows Vista Ultimate have built-in functionality to display graphics from a remote Unix machine on a local Windows machine.
