Depends on what you want to do.  If you just want to run a single app
on the Linux box and display on the Win box, you need to allow the Win
box to "rexec" Linux apps.  If both boxes are safely behind a
firewall, go to /etc/xinetd.d and edit rexec.  Change

        disable                 = yes

to

        disable                 = no

Then reload xinetd:

 /etc/init.d/xinetd reload

If the Linux box is not protected from the Internet, use SSH.  Turn on
the sshd using (assuming it's installed)

 /etc/init.d/sshd start

and

 chkconfig sshd on

so that it comes on next time you boot.

Then use something like PuTTY or SecureCRT on Win to connect to
Linux.  Don't know for sure if Exceed will display X apps when
executed on Linux or not.

If you want a whole desktop on Win, use VNC.  On the linux box, run

 vncserver

Then run the vncclient on the Win box.

I glossed over some details, but will elaborate when we get more info.
