X Servers for Windows

When we run multiple thin Linux/Unix systems on virtual machines on a Windows host, we wish to have X server for windows. There are in fact a few free ones, at least for personal use. Here are some of these X servers.

  • MobaXterm that integrates PuTTY and Cygwin/X with feature-rich GUI
     
  • VcXsrv that is based on from xorg's source code, compiled with Visual Studio (Visual C++, so vc - X - srv)
     
  • Cygwin/X.
     
  • Xming. An older version of Xming is available for free, but new versions require a donation like $20.
