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.
