Yes.

You have to use xming in Windows because Windows does not natively
support the X11 protocol.  However, any graphical environment you use on
Debian will natively support the X11 protocol.  So, all you need to do
is use a command like 'ssh -X ...' or 'ssh -Y ...'.  In most cases the
-X option is what you need, but -Y may be needed depending on the
server-side security settings.
