Just remember that you _can_ run X apps without having a local X server. You can display them remotely.
But you need an Xserver on your system (for XP?)
If you're concerned about the overhead, just don't run any KDE or GNOME apps. E.g., Motif NEdit is an option, and several other apps are GTK+ (no GNOME) as well.
OK...
And of course run through SSH. What port(s) does it use?
Port 22, although I'd _change_ your SSH port which removes about 98% of the script kiddie attacks.
Ah, what kind of wet blanket are you?
You can login with "ssh -X" to setup the display so the X programs will appear locally.
I use SSH's Tectia client on XP. I see the dialog box that has enabling X tunneling. But it says I need a passive X server running.
I earlier mentioned that I have my vi book handy: "Learning the VI Editor" 4th edition ('88). emacs is always a bit much.
There are many other editors too, including nano (pico replacement), joe (Wordstar-like), etc...
Oh Wordstar!! My favorite word processor -- not.
