 There's also "ssh -X". When you connect, ssh will set up X forwarding
and encrypt the traffic. You can fire up commands (e.g. "xterm &") and
they'll run on the remote machine and show up on the local one.

 Even works for Windows, given an X server running on Windows, like xming
or Cygwin's X server.

 Sincerely,
