gnome on windows

Salaam,

I couldn't find a similar post, maybe some servers don't like this keyword combinations :)

I would like to have gnome/linux running on a windows desktop, I know that it is possible through:

1- Virtual machine, with linux/gnome installed 2- Cygwin, with gnome configured 3- other ports

As for 1, it is discarded because of memory consumption too high As for 2, I couldn't find any 开发者_如何学运维working sample configuration, i found a gnome/cygwin project that is abandoned. As for 3, an assumption of what's there but unknown up to this point->.

Thanks

You can try colinux + Xming. There was even such a thing as "Portable Ubuntu" - http://portableubuntu.demonccc.com.ar/
