This discussion will focus on technologies and techniques that can be used to improve the quality of working from home. This talk is primarily geared towards working from home in a Windows environment although some concepts are general and apply to other operating systems.
Slides from this lecture are now available
Update: If you just want to run an X server under Windows and do not want to install Cygwin (which is rather large) I would recommend using Xming. It is small in size, and is pretty easy to install.
