Hello Eric,

I do not have any experience with Xming, but I imagine it would work as long as 
the GPU is available for CAVE and the proper NVIDIA driver is installed.  It 
may require a special configuration in order to run as fast as a standalone 
workstation, that's just a guess.  I always recommend our AWIPS II users 
install 64bit CentOS/RHEL 6.5, since that is the only operating system we 
support for AWIPS II at this time.
