Hi

Would anyone know of a good  and / or it using a windows xserver client.

I googled and I came across this site.

http://x.cygwin.com/

Ok let me explain this one:
cygwin is a complete (nearly) Posix environment in windows. If install it and run it you come to a bash promp where most familar utilitiesare avilable. If you install X you can use the x server. I use it on my windows box to run GNU emacs. (I could use NT Emacs, but the cygwin Emacs works correctly,for just about everything, whereas those parts that depend on external utities often do not work right on NTEmacs.)

If you use cygwin's ssh with x tunneling you can get to your desktop of your debian system on your windows box.
