How to setup a GUI remote connection to Linux server, without using VNC or instaling any additional software on the Target computer. I could terminal to the Target using SSH and user name "root".
My understandig is the Target is running "X client" and my computer(Linux) is running X server. The question is how to setup X server in order to have GUI with my remote server?

There's far to many variables to put it here. Try the Linux Documentation Project for docs on how to to this.

depends on what you are trying to do......do you want to see the whole desktop from the remote server or just run a GUI application? Whole desktop requires something like VNC or rdesktop while the other is simply a matter of sending the x-session to your desktop.
