The Samba server is the only non-Windows machine in the office (other than the Smoothwall). I suppose it's probably possible to do X forwarding to a Windows box, but I've never done it or seen it done. Besides, X still has to be installed on both the client and the server machines for X forwarding to work, doesn't it?
