I've been playing with this and I must say its Hella Cool. http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/ Got it running at work on the NT4 box I have the pleasure of staring at 8hr a day at work. Colors are a bit whacked at 16bit color mode, doesn't want to do 32 or 24, but 8bit works. But then you have all the problems of running X in 8bit color. :P Alt-tabbing causes the alt and tab keys to get stuck in the X server, so you have to remember to hit alt and tab to unstick them when you come back to it. Now what I want is an xtermish thing for Win32. You know the "DOS" window that comes up when you run Win32 console apps? Is there hooks to replace that? Because the default thing sucks ass. No scrollback and nothing more than 80x24. If they could hook PuTTY into that I'd be all set. Or if xterm or rxvt would just work right (something weird with the localisation libs) and they got the X server running along side windows instead of a full screen app...
