Editor's review

An SSH X-Server for Windows, that allows a user to run Unix and Linux on a Windows Desktop.

Pros: AceaXe is an excellent tool for users who would like to be able to access Unix and Linus environments from their very own Windows desktops. It is essentially an X-Server that runs on the Windows OS and supplies a window which shows the required (Unix, Linux or Solaris) environment. This is especially useful for users who want to be able to access certain applications that run only in a Unix / Linux environment, and also for educational purposes where-in a particular application (say a 3-D CAD tool running on a UNIX server) can be accessed remotely by students using Windows PCs.

It features excellent copy and pasting functions, unlike a lot of other tools in this segment where getting copy/paste to work can require sever ingenuity on the part of the user, or fantastic recalling ability. It supports both 64-bit and 32-bit OS on either end (the Windows or the remote Server). It has support for a variety of X-based applications, desktops and window managers: KDE, CDE, FVWM, TWM, Motif, Open-Look, and GNOME. And it has in-built support for a variety of protocols for remote access: Telnet, SSH, XDM, REXEC, RSH, RLOGIN, and more. All standard XClients are also supplied: for example xkill, glxinfo, xfd, xclock, xset, etc. It also supports WinSock – the Windows Socket API. TCP/IP, NFS, FTP, TFTP, and other Networking protocols are also preprogrammed.

Cons: There are no significant disadvantages. It works. Fairly decent interface (which in any case is not used that often, only during configuration and initial connection) and not much to complain about.

Overall: Definitely 5 stars. It works well, supports a variety of protocols and will prove useful for most users because whatever they need to connect to (and how they need to) can be done through this tool.

Publisher's description

SSH X-Server for Windows, Secure way to run Linux and Unix on Windows Desktop. AceaXe Plus is the pre-eminent X Windows environment for the Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT and XP platforms. It enables easy access to different operating systems. It transparently connects different operating systems and their applications together. You need not worry where these applications are physically located on your network. AceaXe brings remote UNIX applications to your PC with each in a separate window. There are no discernible differences when compared to local PC applications which run simultaneously with those from the host remote system. WinaXe Plus links to all UNIX hosts including Sun, Digital, Linux, HP-UX, SCO Unix, IBM (AIX) and many others. The strongest feature of this environment is that it is all happening concurrently and is totally interactive. You can copy and paste text and images from one application to another simply by using your mouse and transfer data among heterogenous computer environments with ease. AceaXe takes nothing from your PC, instead it brings another operating world alongside. WinaXe is a powerful software package, which provides a cost effective way to transform your PC into a powerful X Window System workstation. To get started, all you need is the AceaXe package and standard 64/32-bit networked PC and MS Windows. AceaXe Plus provides full support for multiple X applications, sophisticated window managers, including TWM, FVWM, Motif, Open Look and desktops like CDE, KDE etc. You have a consistent graphical user interface for all your applications, and get more productivity with less effort. Learning to work in a multiple-computer environment has never been easier. It is the most economical way to bring the Unix world into your day to day environment. The X Window System, TCP/IP, NFS, FTP, TFTP and Telnet software are built and provided in the package. All that you need to run remote X applications is included in AceaXe Plus.
