X-Win32
(X-Server for PC) is a Microsoft Windows program that will
turn a PC into an X Window System server. It will allow X
client programs located on other computers (usually UNIX)
to display the output at your PC using the MIT X11 protocol.
The software offers a broad range of features and capabilities,
including the innovative feature of allowing users to run
multiple UNIX and Linux desktops from different UNIX and Linux
servers. Starting from Semester B 2004-05, X-Win32 has been
made available on the CSC Student LAN while the less capable
SunRay thin clients housed in Teaching Studio L have been
totally removed. Users can activate X-Win32 from the Work
Desk menu by clicking the option
X-Win32
- Connection to Academic Unix/Solaris Server (moscow)
When
activated, the X-Win32 will be connected to the moscow
server automatically, prompting the user for username and
password. For users who want to display the X-window application
to the remote PC, simply follow the instructions displayed
after logging into the moscow server or collect simple
note for reference at the Service Counter.
As the
University has acquired the site licence of X-Win32, it has
also been installed on the Staff LANs for general use. If
your department wants to borrow the software media and install
the application for teaching and research, please raise a
CSC Work Request online.
