ok, so will X install and work for me if i'm just using my NetBSD box via
Putty from my Win2k box? i mean, will it work like a remote desktop? 'cuz my
NetBSD is just a headless Firewall/nat thing over there at my office. Even
when i'm at the office i don't actually site at that machine. i still use
putty to log on to it.

Thanks James.
