X Window System

Had to deal with the X window system a bit today, cuz I need to install an oracle client on a solaris box. Here is an entry from Wikipedia to explain the X window structure.

I was mainly confused by xhost and xterm when i try to get everything running. Turned out, first you gotta start the X server, then you have to start a client on your local box to talk to your server and passing input back to the remote server.
