  X server for windows
 
Hey geeks :) Anyone know of a free X server for windows I could use? I really want to be able to edit stuff off my work computer at home, but it's so hard without VIM/Emacs...

  Re: Which Linux?
 
(...) Good for you. :) (...) Well, this of course can be a very religious debate. But here's my opinions: I really like Red Hat -- that's my recommendation for where to start.

  Good place to get non-Lego special effects? (Message slightly off topic)
 
I've decided what my next project will be, and it's going to be a five storey Tudor style hotel. Now I hear you asking "why would he need a special effect for THIS project?"

I'm using MindTerm, a GPL'd Java implementation of ssh: (URL) it doesn't seem to support sftp, it does talk scp (not sure how much better sftp is, though) and a buncha other features including port forwarding.
