| Hi, just found this newsgroup, sorry if im posting to the wrong place.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a free download for Exceed so that I can
connect to my university Unix host from my home PC. Any help would be much
appreciated!
Cheers
Paul

No, but if you're just looking for any free X clients, try Cygwin/X
(http://x.cygwin.com/).

create ~5 gig unformated/unknown/free partition your disk
and install Mandrakelinus, or Suse, or ... pick a distribution found at
http://www.distrowatch.com
Then you can use ssh to get a university xterm back to your pc.
Also has the advantage of you can play unix commands at the house.

Another, similar alternative would be to get a copy of a "live CD" Linux
distribution, such as Knoppix or Mepis. These boot and run entirely
from CD, and do not write anything to your hard disk unless you tell
them to. That would give you X-terms, ssh, and lots more.
If downloading CD images is a problem, you can buy copies from:

You are just barely on topic here but you can find a list of X servers
that run under Winders here:
