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.
