[lug] Linux from Windows

[Rob Riggs]

I will echo Nate's recommendation to use Cygwin.  The X server can use 
XDMCP to get a GUI login to the Linux box, or one can just tunnel X 
sessions through an SSH session (using Cygwin OpenSSH or PuTTY).  XDMCP 
is usually disabled and will need to be enabled if you want an actual X 
login prompt and desktop when you login.  There is a FAQ at Cygwin that 
will tell you how to enable it.  I've always found SSH tunneling suits 
my needs.
