I've installed a Cygwin environment.
I had the same problem at work, but thankfully they gave me a second
desktop on which I installed Ubuntu Linux. I run wmii on the Ubuntu
machine and use the `rdesktop` program to essentially "VNC" into to my
Windows machine.
If your workplace won't give you a second machine, I would recommend:
* make friends with someone in IT to give you a static IP and
"look the other way" about you having a non-Windows machine ;-)
* bring in an old desktop / laptop or buy a cheap netbook
* install your favorite OS that is capabale of running wmii
* connect your Windows machine's monitor to your wmii machine
* `rdesktop` from wmii into your Windows machine (which is now headless)
Finally, enjoy blissful wmii productivity!
Cheers.
I really enjoyed synergy when I was forced to use a windows box at
work. If you can get your hands on a second monitor, it's very nice.
It's not perfect though, does anyone have any other tools that send
mouse and keyboard events to a different system?
