We are currently running Stata on Linux at my department with Windows access through ssh using the X-Windows application in Cygwin (x.cygwin.com). It allows you to do the things you asked for (remember to enable compression, though, for decent response times even on fast networks). The only drawback, I am aware of, is the lacking export of graphs in wmf/emf format in the linux version of Stata. The advantage, however, is that you can run 64-bit stata on a relatively cheap AMD-64 PC, which is *very* fast in my experience.

Please feel free to contact me for further details.

Best,

Henrik

Dear Statalisters: I have to buy a new Stata and I hesitate between buying one to run on linux or windows. The last time I used Stata on Unix (that was many years ago), the thing I missed was the ability to see graphs immediately and to browse through the data in the data viewer. Can you now do those things in the linux version (when accessed remotely from a pc running windows)?

Any other point of view, comments or opinion comparing the two are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
