    I'm using WiredX rather than WeirdX.

    How about wiredx.net service? On this service, I'm displaying X clients on Windows box with X11 forwarding of ssh. It's amazing that this service is done by pure java X server and pure java ssh client! Yes, everything is in pure java!

    There exist two X servers, WiredX and WeirdX and they are from JCraft. WeirdX is licensed under GNU GPL and it was derived from source code of WiredX. As someone pointed out that, WiredX is freely available as a web service.

    Also, the way it stands, if I want to share my X apps with my Windows friends, I have to get them to either
    1) Pay a lot for a decent X server for Windows (by decent, I mean that it doesn't put all X connections inside one Window with a fixed size, but rather creates Windows each time a call is made - unlike Cywgin xfree86).
    2) Download, install and configure xfree86 with cygwin (assuming they've got the 200MB free for it). By the way, I know there is a version that is supposed to work without cygwin. It doesn't work yet, at least not right out of the box, and not with any instructions they give you.
    3) Get them to use a non-windowing solution, i.e. VNC.

    Why not just use WiredX? It's as simple as visiting a web page, and you have a nice X server up and running that will work rootless.

    WeirdX? I use wiredx every day. Its rootless and AA fonts supports are amazing. Why not try it?

    If you have a sufficiently good machine, you may want to look into WeirdX or WiredX. Both are Java X servers, and at least WeirdX ran surprisingly well for me. WeirdX is GPLed.

  9. Re:This requires an X server by tongue · · Score: 1 · on Run Gnome -- On Windows

    For those who don't want to pay for xceed or another commercial X server for windows, check out wiredX its a java xserver that you can run in a web browser or full screen, IIRC. There's also WeirdX, which is an LGPL'ed version of the same, but doesn't run in a web browser, if i'm not mistaken. I've used them under the Hotspot JIT, and the performance is quite acceptable, though not as fast as a native server. Plus, they're free. Good thing all around.

    Yeah, check out WiredX.net. It's a java X server, so programs like IE can display your pretty X desktop

  11. WeirdX vs. WiredX by Rhys+Dyfrgi · · Score: 4 · on X-Server with Alpha Transparency
    WeirdX and WiredX are different things. WiredX comes in two versions, WiredX and WiredX-Lite, which are described on WiredX's web site. WiredX.net was created by JCraft, who also created WeirdX, the GPL derivation of the Java X server.


    WeirdX is the one with the transparency hack. WiredX does NOT have this.

    This is apparently the product of an ASP. From their About page:

    WiredX.net is an ASP which provides pure JavaTM X Window System servers. WiredX and WiredX-Lite enable access to Unix applications on your LAN from your non-Unix desktops (Windows 95/98/NT/2000) via web browsers(IE, Netscape and Mozilla). WiredX.net also provides free downloading services of restricted WiredX and WiredX-Lite to WiredX.net members.

    According to the about page the service is free to all WiredX members, and membership is free... So a cool X-Server with Alpha transparency that lets you access a nix machine from the web.

    The TOS (for those interested) are here.

  15. Setup your own! by nullity · · Score: 3 · on Workspot Offers Free Web-based Linux Accounts

    Those intrepid enough / with spare cycles to throw away may consider setting like this up themselves. It is almost garunteed that workspot will try to stay behind the development curve. While this is good...because it makes for a consistent environment with little change...it doesn't demo Linux's "flashier" side very well. Not to flame, but KDE doesn't make a stunning impression. Yes, its useful, but it isn't very grabbing.

    In any case you can easily setup your own similar installation. I've been setting one up for our LUG. It'll give us an URL to refer people to when they want to know what Linux "looks like". I'm using the WiredX java applet, a fine piece of software (it even performs well!!!). You can download it from http://www.wiredx.net.

    If nothing else, it demonstrates the flexibility of X right off the bat :) I have gotten so used to it that I was surprised to find a friend shocked when I showed him that I could do this! One easily forgets why one uses *nix, hehe.
