A friend of mine told me I'll have to setup an X11 Server on my
windows (remote) machine to be able to view Firefox, for example. I'd
have to execute Firefox from PuTTY and then the window will be
controllable through X11 Server. I'm too used to using Remote Desktop,
so I may be getting the concepts confused.
