putty+xming implementation of graphical programs on Windows client display Linux server side

Go a lot of detours AH ~ ~ ~, recently developed and I said to be in a EC2 machine running a GUI-like program, then I wondered: EC2 machine should not have a desktop suite, then how to run the GUI program? Think of the solution when they received an e-mail, the general meaning that someone through the xming to achieve this function. Inspired by this, I went on to study the tool of the next xming.

Xming This tool is generally used in the following ways:

1. Install Xming on the local Windows client, and then run Xlaunch to start a "Xming server" (Note that server)

2. Open putty, enable X11 Forwarding, and fill in the X Display location localhost:0

3. Connect to the remote Linux server and execute the corresponding GUI-like program, such as Gedit,firefox, etc.

Some questions at the beginning:

1. Does the remote Linux server require its own GNOME or KDE? ---No
