    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.

    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.

    • serverscience doesn't think MobaXterm is an alternative to Xming
      It's trying to be all things, but it's not trying to be focused on being a X Windows system.

    • serverscience Upvoted a comment on MobaXterm as an alternative to Xming
      Xwing is an X Windows system, MobaXterm is a terminal app. Very very different purposes and functionality.

      Not an X server. That's the sole functionality that Xming is carrying. There is no crossover between these two programs whatsoever.
