Jon - This is *AWSOME* 

It would be great to know how to get this to work.  
How many PC labs are out there (in high school and colleges) where they
mirror the PCs.  To have cygwin with X windows configured on these
machines would allow people (e.g. students) to use tons of X windows based
tools off of a UNIX (Linux) server in the closet somewhere.  Lots of
people could use GIMP, ghostview, and tons of other X based programs!

Is setting up cygwin to do this easy?   Is there one HOWTO document?

Thanks!!
