Developer’s Description

Connect your Windows PCs to Unix and Linux servers.
After nearly 25 years of development, X-Win32 is the most simplest yet most versatile PC X Server for displaying remote Unix and Linux desktops and individual applications over a LAN connection.In the most recent independent review of the PC X server market, X-Win32 was named "Best PC X Server" by Network Computing Magazine, which conducted a series of performance tests and feature comparisons of eight products.

When taking the low cost factor into account, X-Win32 offers a tremendous value over competing solutions such as Exceed and ReflectionX. Many large organizations have switched to X-Win32, including Raytheon, FedEx, Rockwell-Collins, CERN, CitiBank, General Dynamics, Bloomberg and NASA.X-Win32 offers both traditional X Windows connect options such as XDMCP, SSH, REXEC, telnet, etc. But is also offers LIVE connections, which are persistent so users can reconnect to a sessions when the Windows crashes or the network connection is disrupted.

X-Win32 can easily display multiple remote Linux and Unix desktops. You can also display X11 applications by themselves in rootless window mode. Copy and pasting between Windows and Linux/Unix is simple and X-Win32 uniquely includes a graphics Copy & Paste feature as well. Multiple monitor support is included as well as OpenGL for 3D graphics applications.
