Hi John, I use the free Irssi ConnectBot on my HTC Desire Z (Android 2.2) to connect to Linux machines. Works perfectly despite the small size of the screen. The hardware keyboard of the Desire Z is helping a lot.
I never tried X applications, though. Having a portable terminal is nice. Have a nice day.
