cygwin

if all you want is to connect to lab server , you an just install exceed or xmanager... this will give you a xterm with shell on lab server. Any application you launch will execute on labserver, but display will be be on your home pc..

You need cygwin only if you intend to run gnu based programs locally on your home pc.
