(Not a unix person !)

ACtually bizarrely the server is the X-client - you need an X-Server so your client can access the server. (and they say *nix isnt f**ked up )

There are plenty of commercial x-servers for PCs- e.g. Hummingbird Exceed. You might be able to find an "Eval" copy somewhere

Altenatively there is a version of VNC (free!) for linux which would allow you do the same thing.

Use VNC server on the box with VNC client on your machine.

Alternatively, there's a demo version of Omni-NFS which does the job. Download the x-server, etc... Google for it
