Good morning.
i have a sun server, headless, that i use with ssh login, text only.

now i would to run X on the server (headless), and use X on the server
with a pc (using the pc like an X-terminal), but i search in google for
the instruction to do it, but i haven't find them.

can you help me?

You don't need to run X on the server to do this -- X runs on the pc.
If you login to the server using ssh -X you'll enable X forwarding,
and X applications you start on the server will display on the pc.
(well, this depends on some configuration specifics -- but it should
either work or give some errors that you'll be able to track down).
