Thanks for the correction. I should've read the SSH documentation more

Now you have me wondering how the export DISPLAY machinename:0.0 method
has been working between the office and home, since the firewall setup
shouldn't allow that
Ken,
Take a look at SSH. It would get you a couple of things you probably
need in your headless webserver configuration :
1. Secured connections to your headless system from anywhere.
2. X forwarding over that same secured connection.
X forwarding allows you to have the base X stuff and X

I know it is possible to run an xserver on a local host computer, and
then connect to a window manager and aps running on a networked host.
Question is how to set this up? I'd like to start an X session between
two computers (I guess this is what an Xterminal is).
I have a 'headless' computer
For this case you need xdmcp service from your headless computer. apt-get
install xdm and edit file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, comment out line :0 local
/usr/bin/X11/X vt7. Then you can use X -query headlesshost to start X session,
or X -indirect headlesshost.
But you can telnet/ssh in and run
The X-server is a program that runs on the machine you are sitting at.
a)Find out the ip-address or name of that machine(the one
you are sitting at).
b)Telnet to the headless remote machine.
c)Issue the command
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.10:0.0
(use the ip-adress (or name) you just found)
d)issue
