If all you want to do is run apps on one *nix box and display them
on another *nix box with X, it's easy as pie. Start X on the box
in front of you, open up a term window, ssh or otherwise log into
the remote box, and run an X app. It will display in front of you.
You should be concerned about security when doing something like
this, and in fact I forgot one more step: host access control.
You need to give permission to the remote box to access your local
X server (without giving the whole world the same permission).
I think maybe ssh does this automatically. Not sure.
