I'm just trying modular X and looking for a client-only setup. That is, I don't want any files on my disk that are related
to X server usage. I only need all the X files for remote (export DISPLAY=somebox:0) usage.
Ok...here is the deal...if you want to display something on your computer (say laptop), you actually have the X server. It is non-intuitive, for the fact that it seems backwards. All the programs, like firefox will be stored on the remote computer and are called X clients. So your client (laptop) runs the X server while the X clients run on your actual server.
A good place to start is googling something like linux thin clients.
Hope this helped.
