Linux For WindowsLabF
They produce WinaXe, an X Windows environment for the Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and 3.xx platforms. It enables easy access to different operating systems, and transparently connects different operating systems and their applications together. You don't have to worry where these applications are physically located on your network. WinaXe brings remote Linux / UNIX applications to your PC with each in a separate window. There are no discernible differences when compared to local PC applications which run simultaneously with those from the host / remote system.
WinaXe links to most UNIX hosts including Sun, Digital, Linux, HP-UX, SCO Unix, IBM (AIX) and many others. The strongest feature of this environment is that it is all happening concurrently and is totally interactive - so you can copy & paste text and images from one application to another simply by using your mouse and transfer data among heterogenous computer environments with ease. WinaXe takes nothing from your PC, instead it brings another operating system alongside. You can try it out by downloading a free demo which allows 30 minute sessions.
