I have two PC's networked together. One has Redhat and the other is Windows 2000.
I am trying to figure out a way so that whenever a Linux terminal is running, it redirects its output to the Windows 2000 PC. How do I do this? Also, is there a way to reposition the window when it spawns on the Windows side?
There are GPL versions of VNC, and I have had decent success using TightVNC to control Windows machines across the internet.
But to answer your specific question, you need to install cygwin and cygwin-X on the Windows machines. You then can establish remote sessions (including X-Windows sessions) via ssh using Windows PC clients. You will find ordinary terminal sessions to be quite adequately fast, and X sessions will be OK if you have a fast enough network connection.
Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS, Kali, MX Linux with i3WM

Agree with Jim, Putty SSH into your linux box from your XP machine. If you want "X" you could install Exceed (Hummingbird) which emulates an X-windows interface on a windows machine( PC X-server). It allows you to run your linux box's x programs on your windows box.
