Cleartext property

I was waiting for the IT ops to supply me the new linux server user ID and password, so I started google and searched for ways to export display from Linux machine to windows and I came across a pretty good article which is

10 things you should do to every windows PC ( http://builder.com.com/5100-6404_14-5906772.html )

I especially liked Turn on ClearType and adjust Desktop settings. Here are the things you need to do ....

1. Right-click on the desktop.
2. Go to the Appearance tab.
3. Click the Effects button.
4. Check this option in the Effects dialog box: Use The Following Method To Smooth Edges Of Screen Fonts.
5. Select ClearType from the drop-down box.
6. Click OK.

Now I am trying to install Cygwin/X on my Cygwin installation. With this I intentend to export my linux machine to export its display to my Windows PC. And then I would try to run QT applications on my linux server. LEts see how it goes!

OH NO !!!

My previously installed company provided cygwin has gone!! I dont seem to be having a directory named C:\Cygwin!! And when I run any linux command line ls I get the error . Whose text is "The procedure entry point __getreent could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll" ... Again one more call to IT.

Looks like I am still a long way before I can install Cygwin/X and run QT apps either on Cygwin or in linux server. Going for break now !!
