If you think of a server as something that provides a service,
then it makes a little more sense:

        file servers provides files,
        database servers provides data,
        the X server provides a display

The only difference is the physical location relative to
the user.

As a developer or user?  Users don't have to anything
but maybe set DISPLAY or run xauth.

Developers don't even need to do that!
