  Getting OT here, but if you bought a recent version (OS X 10.2 or
later) it's on the extra DVD that came with the hardware and OS.  I
installed X for my daughter's iBook last summer so she could run
OpenOffice.
 
  It is indeed perfectly feasible to run X apps over the network,
that's what it was designed for.
