Working on Linux computer from Windows XP computer through X

Hello to all of You,
I was hoping You might give some tips about a program to run on Windows (XP
is most important, when 98 SE is possible that is a plus) which would allow
me to work on a Linux (Gutsy Gibbon) computer over the network by means of
the X11 protocol. On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System I have
found several programs that will allow one to do that but I am not capable
of judging their quality and reliability being very unexperienced when it
comes to Linux related things (but I learn). The first one I found is
X-Win32 but that is both proprietary and not really cheap. The one that
looked very attractive to me is Xming but again, I know not how good and
reliable it is in practice. Ease of installation is also a big plus, though
I am willing to spent time figuring things out (within certain measures) if
that would give me the chance to use something very superior in quality.
I express many thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Rene
P.S. English is not my mother tongue (from the use of the word "cheap" You
have already deducted that I'm Dutch ;-)) so please forgive me my errors, I
do my best.
P.P.S. It is very unpredictable when I can reply so please do not be cross
when it takes some time, I am really interested and any tips are highly
appreciated.
