XLiveCD: Cygwin and X For Windows On A Live CD Yet another example of how a set of creative minds and open source code can make good things happen. Seems some IT folks at Indiana University (where Bobby Knight used to abuse people) have put together a live CD that lets you run the X Window System and a bunch of UNIX utilities directly from CD on any system, including Windows. They use Cygwin to accomplish this feat. Very cool! Here's hoping they buy a couple thousand copies of Cygwin in Action when it comes out! BTW, if you need a copy, it's on BitTorrent.
