I use this method to run application like Kivio (no need to buy Visio ) or other good open source that I will mention in other articles, on my office notebook when I am at home. Magically, it will appear on your windows desktop. You will get a console, login in on your Linux server and lunch the application you want. You have also to configure the X11 Forwarding setting in Putty to forward the X session to your windows machine IP address. Depending from the remote terminal service that is running on your server, configure Putty to use it. It is an executable, just download it and lunch it. Then you need a remote terminal connection software, the best open source is Putty. You have an X icon on your windows desktop, run it. Once installed, the easiest way to use is to run it straight away.
