Opening the xterm session on Linux through remote putty
 
I have X Window running on one of RHEL Machine 192.168.2.2.
I have logined through putty from remote Windows Machine 192.168.2.5. Now What I need to open the xterm (if I run the command through putty it should open xterm in the linux Machine).
Any idea?

From Linux Box:

xhost +

From Windows through putty:

export DISPLAY=:0

Hurray !!!

Why do you need to open xterm (a shell for GUI) if you are already logged into a shell with putty?
