I don't have any linux servers with GUIs.  Will it work with Windows?

Yes, if you install a Windows X server - the free cygwin one will work. However, if you do much linux work, I'd recommend something slightly different. Pick a linux box near the servers - perhaps one where you do testing and development and install the 'freenx' package. Then install the NX client from www.nomachine.com on your windows desktop(s). This lets you run a complete Linux GUI desktop remotely in what appears to windows as a normal window so you get cut/paste between systems, etc. Besides being easier to install than most windows X packages, this also lets you disconnect the session and pick it up with everything still running, perhaps from a different client, and it is very efficient over low bandwidth connections.
