I am sorry to say this but I believe you are confusing one product with another. In order to connect to a Linux machine, open a user session (from any platform), and act like a generic user, you need some type of remote shell utility. I use Cygwin as my remote shell but there are others, many others, out there.
Your MySQL client on your XP box can login and create a session on practically any MySQL server. The ability to create that session depends mostly these two things: 1) if you have communications access to it (it's on, listening, and available from your IP address) 2) if you have a valid MySQL account on it that permits you access. That kind of connectivity is separate and distinct from being logged into the Linux box as a Linux user.
