You can run X application on remote systems and have them display on your local display. This is a lot faster than VNC, I can run Netscape on a remote server through a wireless connection and have it respond almost as fast as if I were to run it locally. To do this you first need to set allow the remote compute access to your display, run the command xhost <remote system name> <local system name>. Then login to the remote computer through tenet, ssh, or rlogin, which ever you prefer. Then execute xterm <remote system name>:0; this will display a terminal from the remote computer.
