Free server with root access for remote X?


It is possible to run a linux executable on one computer and show the X output on another computer. I would like to run firefox like this. The executable would run on a free server, and the X output would appear on my linux pc.

1. Where do I find a free hosting server that offers this sort of root access?

2. What packages do I need to run the X session over a secure link to the server with strong encryption?

3. How do I save a disk image of the server's entire hard disk and restore it at every boot time?

I understand virtual private servers can do all that. But where do I get one for free, or a server with root access for free?

Maybe root access is not required, just firefox to be preinstalled and remote usage of X to be enabled. Who can offer that for free?
