X11 Forwarding over SSH

1. It definitely was easier over Windows with Putty. I had to download a X-Win32, run it on my PC, then ensure Putty had X11 Forwarding enabled. Once I logged in through Putty, all I did was do a startx or any X app, and it would fire up.

2. Over OS X was abit more troublesome, X-Darwin sans XFree86 had to be installed. Once that was done, ensure that you do an ssh -X -l asd blah@haha.com before launching an X driven app.
