I tried Putty and Xming first, but Xming is no longer free, and Putty had some trouble getting that to work with the old, free version of Xming. Now, I have a bit of work to do on the Linux box and it has fewer screens than the Windows desktop box – and is less of a carry-me-around than the two laptops, so I decided to resurrect the ol’ X-over-SSH thing.
