Hiya folks,

can someone pls provide me with an idiot's guide to getting X11 running over ssh.

That is to say, I want to be able to ssh into a Linux box from Windows (or MAC or Linux natively - but primarily Windows) using putty and then have the gui come up for me.

I know I could use VNC, but;

1. I have to be able to use std ports to get thru corporate firewalls and
2. I would like to have that connection secure

And as best I can tell VNC doesn't support ssh; not to mention I wouldn't know how to send it through a std port without interfering with other services on those ports.

I have attempted to understand how to do it using putty, but I seem to get lost. Can anyone suggest an idiot proof tutorial or some such which actually refers to up-to-date versions and processes/requirements?
