X server software

Windows

Several packages are in use within the department.

  • A free X server, Xming, can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming
  • XWin32 is available from ADCS for an initial cost of $25 plus $25 annual renewal.
  • The MicroImages Xwindows server MI/X is available for about $25.

Macintosh

An X11 server for Mac OS X can be downloaded directly from Apple.

Alternatives

You may also want to check out VNC, another remote-access system. If you intend to use it across the internet, rather than for local use within Tate Lab, you should read directions for SSH tunnelling, as the non-encrypted version is blocked at our firewall.
