Free x-server for windows 9x, ideas?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a nice X server to run on my windoze box, as my server does
not have a monitor anymore....
I found "MicroImages X Server" but it's old and i don't like it that
much....
Requirements:
1) Plays nice with Debian Linux (potato)
2) Freeware, nag-free shareware, GPL?
Ideas?
Thanks,
Nico de Haer
