^^^ go here and you can download a program called "excursion" or similar programs for macs that let you forward X11 stuff to your screen. I use it to log into my computer courses sun solaris labs when I have to use windows. Also theres a program called winaXe which turns your pc into a thin client thingie for connecting to a nix machine.
BTW please note that this dl area is just meant to be for my hall... so don't tell anyone I sent you ok? ;) Mr Admin may get upset at lack of available bandwidth and that wouldn't be good because they are thinking of reducing our internet prices. :D

and yes it's legal, I havent paid anything for it and I got it off a public server. free dl, but still closed source. :rolleyes:
Calum:
what about putty.exe?
i was under the impression it was an open source ssh client for win32 that was capable of x11 forwarding? i have not tried it for this, but i notice it has an option called "enable x11 forwarding" in the preferences, which kind of gives it away...
and void said it was open source, so that's also a bit of a giveaway.
Faust:
It can enable X11 forwarding, but that requires the computer being forwarded to to have X11, so that's why someone said -

BUT, pcexcursion runs in Windows and also accepts X connections, thus letting you forward X11 to your computer. Oh and that link wont work anymore btw. :(
