www.xfree86.org, but you won't find much good information there.

Contrary to the other advice, I do not think that VNC is necessarily the
best way to do it.  What, exactly, are you trying to do?  Display a
program from a Linux box to another unix box?  Display a program from
a Linux box onto a windows box?  Display a program from a Linux box
onto its own screen?  What kind of network do you have between the two
(sic) boxes?  What is the application?  Why are you doing this?

And, on a less important note, why is someone in Australia mailing a
group in the southeastern US for advice instead of asking one of the
Australian Linux users' groups?  You might get faster answers from
someone in your own time zone.  We're more than happy to help if you
don't mind the lag, though!
