for fast network (LAN)
telnet/rlogin (better not ssh)
export DISPLAY=IP-of-your-display:0
then start X apps
make sure to allow on your local display connecting X program -
man xhost
for lower speed connection
ssh -C -X yournetra
then run X apps
for lowest speed connection run VNC.
if your local display run windoze you probably have only the last choice.
i don't know if they are working X11 servers for windows.
