1: Start a new thread, don't reply to an existing one, when starting a
new topic.
2: Not that I'm aware of (though the XF86 port may be an option).
Free servers: Mi/X is the only one I'm aware of. It's IMO
unsatisfactory for any serious, and most humerous, work.
XWin32 has a low-cost (~US$100/seat) X server. It is reasonably full
featured.
Exceed and WRQ are the grand-dames of Win-centric X servers. A seat
license is ~US$300+. Full-featured, mostly works. Some keybinding
issues (also effect XWin32).
A non-X server option is VNC (virtual network computer), which parks the
entire X session on the remote box, and just ports the display to your
workstation. It's less responsive than an equivalent X session, but
preserves all state on the remote host, and allows moving the session
(or sharing it) among workstations.
Cheers.
