I'm told that one of the big pros of the X server/client is that the
server and the client can be on separate machines ( I guess like a
remote desktop). How can I use my windows machine to run applications on
the linux machine. Currently I'm just using a "vnc" setup.
Short answer: install cygwin on your windows machine, making sure to
install whatever X server is included with it.
An even faster route to satisfaction: Xming. It's really easy to install and
has a little startup wizard to configure it how you want, eg. running full
screen or using managed windows, using PuTTY to set up a compressed ssh
forward for you, etc. It's really sweet.

Excellent! I'll tuck that away for future reference. I would revise my
statement to the original poster - xming appears to be the way if you
just want X. :)
