Hi All
Ok so this should be easy:
I want to setup an ubuntu 6.0 server to run VMWare free edition on it. So:

1. i installed ubuntu server basic so no windowing or anything

2. I am now installing XFCE on it:
 sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop

3. when this is done, here is what i want to do, I want to login from an xterm of another machine, somehow invoke xfce so that it would run remotely on that machine and then install vmware using that interface. 

so my question is, how to i get the xfce deskop of one machine to show up on another machine via xterm? and if i cant have the whole desktop show, can i at least run some key programs whose window will be on the other machine?
