Then adjust your Xservers file (and whatever other files you need to), and you're ready to go. You may want to install fonts and run a font server as well; that way, your clients all have access to a variety of fonts without needing to replicate them. > The objectiv is to purpose the x environment to users of the lan and use no > more memory/ressources on the server since no users should use it directly. An idle X server doesn't take much in terms of resources. (top shows a lot, but most of that is the mapped memory to the video card.) But if you don't need it, you don't need it.
