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.
