Ok thanks for the suggestions. But from someone/people who know, what are the pros/cons between xorg/vnc/freenx ? I know the later two are easier done on Windows (which I may need when I am on a foriegn machine).
Knute, I might take up your offer as I am already familar with these two pieces of software.

It should work as long as you paste the ssh key for nx into
the client and save it.
However, if you are on a fast local network, X works fine
and the free Cygwin version for windows is not bad at
all. To run one remote program at a time, from a
Cygwin bash shell:
export display=:0
Xwin -multiwindow &
ssh -X linux_server
log in, start a program by typing its name, the window should
open on your desktop.
To run a complete Linux desktop in one window, first run
gdmconfig on the server and enable XDMCP and restart X, then
Xwin -query linux_server
from the Cygwin bash prompt and you should get graphic login
prompt.
