My dorm building just got a bunch of new Dells installed in the downstairs computer lab, and they are real nice machines except they all run Windoze 2000. So, what I did was download the cygwin X server and installed it on one of the computers (you don't even need admin access to do this) and set up my upstairs computer to allow incoming XDMCP requests. I went downstairs, started cygwin, and typed $XWin :1 -query <my ip address> The screen changed and suddenly I was staring at my computer's login screen. I could log in and check email, send files, blah blah, etc. And all remotely! I also do this from my univ's unix lab (since GNOME looks a lot better than CDE) How cool is that?
