X Server on a monitor less system.

Hi,
Can I install X Server for using User Interface on a monitor less system remotely (it's a dedicated box in DC) ? I'm running Redhat Fedora 1. How can I do it ?
Thanks

Installing VNC server on the server would be another option.

just install the server on that system
then login by using ssh -X username@host
(X11Forwarding has to be set to yes on the remote side)

if you want to trigger any application just type the command. If you still want to use your shell, add an &
e.g.: ssh -X sumpi@shuriken
sumpi@shuriken:~$ mozilla &

after that, mozilla is started on my local XServer and I work on the remote machine...
