X Server for Windows?

  • Install Xming and Putty in Windows.
  • Have a terminal server running under Linux.
  • Execute Xming under windows: double click the X icon.
  • Execute Putty: configure it to connect your server Ip and to forward the X11 to your Windows machine IP.
  • Login and run the Linux application.
