RE: how do I access gnome/kde desktop from windows

["Richard Riley" <rriley procuri com>]

There are a number of free Xserver packages for windows.  The two I have used are cygwin/x and xfree86.  Either of these will work great with your Linux box.  You need to make sure the Linux box has the xinitrc and xterm packages installed.  These are standard RedHat Linux packages and can be installed remotely with up2date.  You mention the Linux box is remote and if you don't already have it, get "putty" (also free) for it's "ssh" tool for secure remote access.

the linux box is at very remote end and it will
require permissions for installation..
Hence am looking for a xwindows based client to access
gui...for urgent need..
