| You need the X applications on the host, but they can display on the

Also, if you're just using console apps (as I mostly do, mozilla aside)
you can run them in local xterms, thus:
xterm -e ssh otherhost
And so forth. If the remote system is actually remote (eg I'm accessing
a home system from work) then this is a great bandwidth saver, as you're
sending just tty traffic (typing and text) over the (compressed) ssh link,
instead of X traffic which is fundamentally bulkier.
