Looking for a good X Client for Win 95/98 to talk to my Linux box.

Any suggestions? Any Free solutions?

Thanks

I really like xfig. It is a pretty nifty client and is, of course, free.
A lot of people seem to rather like the GiMP, too. Netscape is another.

But something tells me you actually meant X *server* not X *client*.
In that case, I would sort of recommend SuperX which I use at work. I
say sort of recommend since it has exhibited a few strange problems
that tech support said would be fixed with a patch sent to me. Naturally,
no such patch has appeared. Maybe this is because I am only running a
trial version and not the paid for retail. None the less, it is a
pretty good product.

MicroImages has a truly free X server (the only one I have ever found)
but I don't care for it much. I runs a local (on Windows) copy of twm.

hope this helped,

My web site lists a couple of dozen X servers for MS-Win
and also several products that convert MS-Win GUIs to X protocol
so they can display on your Linux X server.

Check out Reflection X. They have a 2 month trial download and IMHO it's by far
the best Win95 X-Win server for accessing a *nix box.

The X-Term windows pop up in Win32 frames so they live side-by-side with Win95
apps. But all the GUI graphics of your X-stuff tranfer over. It worked real well
with my WindowMaker Linux desktop.

The commercial price is something like $360, which seems to be pretty average.

A good free solution is VNC, available from
