Great news, they have released version 1.0 of VLC finally. In my opinion VLC is the best media player out there, it works! Get it here – http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
I have tried quite a few different text editors, the one I prefer and can heartily recommend is a great free open source tool, notepad++ - http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
Here are the features of Notepad++ :
You can push x server gui’s from a remote server to your local machine. This is how to send an x server gui from a remote centos machine to your vista machine.
Install Cygwin, choose the default installation package for X11 (follow the documentation).
Once installed, start the xserver with
sh /usr/bin/startxwin.sh
see - http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting-sh
This will create a xserver icon in the bottom right corner of your taskbar. Right click this icon and select Applications and choose xterm. Once this fires up, connect to your remote server with ssh.
In the xterm session, type;
ssh -X user@sshserver.com
Once logged into the remote server you can start your apps within the ssh session and they are piped to you cygwin xserver.
The reason I care, I was trying to get a Jmeter gui running locally for a remote server.
