Look into Virtual Network Computing from AT&T Laboratories .

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

VNC is one way of doing it, but that is not as well integrated as running an actual remote X server in windows.

The Unix X Window system can connect remotely to any other X Window system, in much the same way the Citrix Winframe works for Windows, except this functionality is built into X Window. There are several companies that write software that allows Windows to run this remote connectivity to an X window system. My favorite at the moment is X-Win32 by

http://www.Starnet.com.

Be aware of one possible misunderstanding that can happen: In discussing the X system, for some reason the terminology is reversed from our normal conception of client-server computing, so now the system where you want to connect from is running the X server, while the Unix system you are connecting to is running the X client. (Don't ask me why, but there is a technical geeky kind of reason for this.) Anyway, just remember that and you will be OK with X-win32.

Now, maybe I and d3funct are misunderstanding you and you don't want to connect over the network to another Linux desktop. Then the only thing I can conclude is you are looking for something like Linux4win (

or VMWare (

This doesn't mean you are running a Linux interface in Windows, but that you can load Linux from Windows.

) - search windowBlinds.net, litestep,... - skinz.org
2)or he wants to use some linux like libraries - gtk is cool for that I think

Yes, those are some great things, but they aren't really Linux. They are just ways of customizing the Windows desktop, which can make it look like X-windows, Mac, OS X, BEOS, or whatever you want. If that's what you are looking for, then

http://www.windowBlinds.net,

or

http://www.Stardock.com

with Object Desktop is definitely cool;-).
