Install Linux, rather FreeBSD (this being, well, a FreeBSD mailing list), on a machine separate from the Windows one. Connect the two via a switch. Run Humming Bird Exceed, VNC, or some such software -- which will show the "desktop" of your newly acquired FreeBSD machine running X11 -- on your Windows machine. And you have both Windows & FreeBSD graphical interfaces available to you. Do not forget to guard your internal network from the rest of the Internet via a firewall or by virtue of being not connected to the Internet. - Parv --
