How can I connect to Redhat Enterprise 5 by running X windows on my Windows PC?


I have a Redhat Enterprise 5 server with no Graphics monitor. I would like to run a X client on my Windows 7 PC in order to connect to the Redhat server. Does any application (such as VNC or SSH client?) allow me to do? If so, how can I configure the Linux server and Windows client?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

edit: AFAIK, it wouldn't allow you to run X, though

Is there an Xserver running on the RH host ?
If not, then you will need to have one running.

VNC is very easy to setup and connect with.

If VNC is running slow you can drop back to 640X480 screen resolution and see a considerable speed increase. This can be done in a manner that does not affect the local linux boxes screen resolution.

If security is an issue you can also run VNC over/through a ssh tunnel.
