#2 is just so ... wrong
But cool. Cross-browser, cross-platform testing on the same screen. You have to write up the HOWTO. Or better yet, just post the screenies to Slashdot and offer to sell pre-configured boxes ...

It involves Blackmagic and Fairy dust.
Nah, it is operating that same way *NIX X-Terms(thin clients) have operated for decades.
The only thing you have to change on the running Linux machine (a second machine to provide the Linux environment) is to enable XDMCP Requests (or broadcast as well) and then on the Windows Side is tell the XWin to query specific machine or listen to broadcasts.
It is just that simple. Hell, I am betting Mac OS-X can do it too... Maybe I should buy a MAC and get OS-X on it and give it a whirl. Maybe I could show three OSes and 26 or so different Browsers at the same time...
hmmm interesting.
P.S. Did ya notice anything about the name of the Windows Portion of the machine?

Yes I did
Just so I understand, were those screenies showing applications all running on the same box? Or were some of the windows to apps running on a different box?
IOW what is the host system? It sounds like WinXP is the host, running Cygwin, and Debian is running under that? No, that doesn't sound right, because Cygwin is the X environment. So the Gnome toolbar and Debian login were on a different box? I had thought everything was running on one. Now that would be cool.

That ain't TOOO hard either.
VMWare does make that possible.
Yes, the Linux machine was another boxen.
BUT, you could have the co-operative kernel running and make it do that funky chicken dance, though it is fragile ATM. XFree does work (sort of) and you could give it ta similar look and feel.

Is that co-operative kernel *and* VMWare, or is that "or"
Does VMWare need the co-operative kernel to do that, and that is still unstable? Or are you saying the co-operative kernel allows you to do that without VMWare? When this can happen without VMWare, that will be cool™.

Okay... I talk in circles I guess.
VMware OR the co-operative Kernel
Right now there have been significan milestones reached with the cooperative Kernel project. Like I said, it isn't as stable as I'd like (therefore not wanting to support it) and can do alot of these things.
VMware makes it easy.
But, you can use your existing Linux machine as the source for your Linux stuff.. :)
Installing Cygwin/X can worky just fine.
P.S. This is the second post from the Linux Side of your machine, complete with Nvidia Drivers and everything. I call it "droogy"

Somewhere out there ...
... there's some total dork with a dual boot Linux/Windows machine, and the machine names are Annakin/Darth.
