I just would like to mention about MobaXterm which is one of "my best
discoveries" during last few years when it comes to software (personal
edition is free)
It is a terminal application like putty but it has extremely useful
features which automate many things like ssh tunnels and X11 forwarding.
This thing has a built in cygwin and X server.

So you just start it up in windows (you don't even have to install it) ,
connect to your linux server like you do with any other terminal
application and when you start an app that makes calls to X server it just
works an pops up on your screen.

Before that I was using VNC, XMing or even a dedicated linux desktop
virtual machine. But this is far best one and easiest to use.

It also has many other cool features (for example it automatically makes an
scp/sftp connection so you always have "windows like" directory structure
next to the terminal for easy drag and drop files between your workstation
and linux server.

I just wish they throw in c3270 one day and I need nothing more.

Give it a try, this program is like a virus - everyone I work with, uses it
already.
