Exceed is an X server. In unix, graphics are based on X anyway, so
you already have the X server installed! You just need to know how it
works.

I don't know what you want to do. If you just want to display a
graphical application on your RedHat display, you don't need to do
anything special (except for setting the $DISPLAY variable on your
remote machine). I would recommed this, because I can't imagine why
you need something more complicated.

on your remote machine define an environment variable
DISPLAY === redhatbox:0.0
and make sure your redhat box allows connections (man xhost or xauth)
and then on your remote machine type the name of your graphical app
and that's it.

If you really want the entire 'desktop environment' of the remote
machine (for some reason), you can run a second X server, next to the
default one on your RedHat box. I'm not very experienced in this, but
my X server usually runs under virtual terminal 7 (ctrl-alt-F7), and
it is simle to start another one under (ctrl-alt-F8), by going to
your console, and typing something like this:

XFree86: startx -- :1.0 -auth /dev/null

(yes I know, the -auth thing is probably wrong..)
