I just use an exceed client (not the full Hummingbird product) and then just use X11 port forwarding over SSH in my putty session - seems to work reasonably quickly (depending on network connectivity of course)

Cheers,

Has anyone found a reasonably fast xwindows server?  On my 32 bit windows xp virtual machine I can get the oui to work reasonably fast, even connecting to a data center 4 states away to do an install using putty and cygwin.  But when I run the OUI (or asmca or dbca for that matter) directly on my desktop,which is windows 7 64 bit, and connecting initially with putty, its just dog slow on cygwin or xming.   Is there a faster xserver out there for windows 64?  Or maybe the problem is with windows 7 64 bit?
