    Was it cygwin, or something? I vaguely recall running an X server on Windows so I could display remote Linux gui apps locally.

      You’re thinking of remote X server, but there was also something called Cygwin that allowed you to run certain Linux apps within a virtualized environment. It was basically just an X window that opened up in windows inside of which you could run Linux apps.
