Say you work somewhere where all workstations run Linux, only you have Windows on your laptop, which you basically use all the time. Now as I type this, I am not sure if anyone else shares my fate. Anyway; this does not stop you from running some of the cool Linux tools. Just install <a href="http://x.cygwin.com/" target="_blank">CygwinX</a> (through the regular <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/" target="_blank">Cygwin</a> installer) and start the XServer from the start menu. Icons will appear in your taskbar and you can start an XTerm. Inside that XTerm, type:
```bash
rattle@windows.box$ ssh -Y rattle@linux.box

rattle@linux.box$ xmaple
```
and there you go!

The `-Y` switch is the one that does all the magic, obviously.
The new version of TaskWarrior (2.2.0) supports the new field `scheduled` which is/maybe pretty handy. The short version of how to install it on a linux machine (without asking root): Follow the instructions in the file `INSTALL` from the source tarball and set the flag `DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` of `cmake` to your home directory. <a href="https://blag.nullteilerfrei.de/2013/08/27/howto-build-taskwarrior-from-source-without-root-privileges/#more-2115" class="more-link">Do you want to know more?</a>
This guide is for the people who only want to get this thing done where you only type
```bash
ssh remotehost
```
to ssh to your server at `crazylongdomainname.com` with the user `u3321445longandunhandy` on a windows pc with cygwin. <a href="https://blag.nullteilerfrei.de/2013/07/01/ssh-cygwin-windows-quick-dirty/#more-1974" class="more-link">Do you want to know more?</a>
