woking together

A Linux distribution Ubuntu is installed on the desktop, and Windows 7 is installed on my laptop.

The connenction is Putty’s show. File transfers with WinScp. In order to enjoy the multi-label terminal, A software called ConEmu showing below is installed on my laptop.

I also installed a X-server on my Windows 7, Xming. If you have interets on it, search it with Glgoo or powerfull engine Baidu. You will not miss it! Once you have installed Xming, your Windows gets the ability to display a graphical window started in your putty! If you have installed it, try eog in the command window.

Note! You have to enable X-Server when you try to connect your Linux with Putty.
