Thank You all for your insight. I installed x2go and I am playing around with it, but I think that ssh -X might work just as well, and was extremely easy when I was logged into my linux environment. I will have to work on getting it to work in windows(while at work), but I haven't even Googled "x environment" for windows yet to see how to do it with puttty.<div>

</div></div>A normal 'remote login' to a Linux system is via ssh, .. if you wish to<br>
run a graphical [X] application on the remote just add "-X" [enable X<br>
forwarding] to the Ssh connection and the application and GUI will run on<br>
YOUR machine.<br>
<br>
The X environmemt is client/server, so it's trivial to separate the<br>
display from the machine where the application running; it's a also a lot<br>
more efficient than remoting the entire desktop.<br>
