What is Xming?
Xming is a X Window System Server for Microsoft Windows®. It is fully featured, lean, fast, simple to install and because it is standalone native Windows, easily made portable (not needing a machine-specific installation or access to the Windows registry). Xming is totally secure when used with [WWW]SSH and optionally includes an enhanced PuTTY Link SSH client and a portable PuTTY replacement package. Xming installers include executable code, and libraries, only built by Colin Harrison (Project Xming's chief developer).
[WWW]Mesa with [WWW]GLX, or [WWW]Microsoft WGL, provide interactive [WWW]OpenGL® 2D and 3D network transparent graphics rendering. High performance Windows [WWW]AIGLX is available for graphics cards that support hardware-accelerated OpenGL.
Comments and Reviews
This app doesn't appear to be open source. You can't download the current version source anywhere on the website and you can't even download the installer without donation.
I suggest Xming be changed to "Commercial".
Developer asks for a forced "donation" to obtain the password to download the application. Last time I checked this is called SELLING and you are avoiding taxes my friend.
