If the linux on windows does not directly support a graphical interface then there may be other solutions.
Once upon a time there was an xserver that would run on windows but I don't know if such a thing still exists. But if it does then it should be possible to run up xdm and connect in from the windows xserver.
There are people that have used Xming and cygwin X and such, and it does work fine with it.
Another possible solution would be vncserver which I do use on a number of headless systems. It is not super fast but works for what I need it for.
It would be interesting to know if these would actually work on linux on windows and it would make for a good test of how complete the linux implementation is.
Is linux on windows as good(bad) as Wine on linux?
I would say it works a lot better than wine, but of course it isn't trying to handle graphics. Some network stuff doesn't work, but in general it is quite useful. -- Len Sorensen
