			Putty and Xming is the configuration with the least overhead. If all you need is remote forwarding of X applications to your Windows machine, and you don't intend to do much with Linux locally, use them.

			Download and install Putty and Xming. Launch Xming (it may be a big gray screen to start with). Then launch and configure Putty:

			* Main screen>Hostname: tools.cs.earlham.edu
			* SSH>X11>: toggle "Enable X forwarding" on and set display to "localhost:0"
			* Main screen>Saved sessions>Type "Graphics" in the box and click "Save Session" so you don't have to do this every time.

			Then connect.
