No, you only need a few libraries. The Display can be a local
workstation.
I know this, I've done it, as far back as 1998 when the universal
installer finally became somewhat *un-buggy* enough to be used. Of
course, this was on AIX, Tru64 and HP-UX mostly, but also Linux on the
Dev and QA systems. The only REAL problems I ran into ~2001 was when the
Pentium 4 was not recognized by the Java included on the installation
CDs. The only X stuff was some runtime libraries needed. Very little
compared to a full setup.
