how to run a GUI application throw SSH using X11

soo all we need is first to install the ssh server on the server - machine we like to control so -

1. sudo su

2. apt-get install openssh-server

now back to our machine

using the ssh :

1. ssh -V -X username@the-server-ip

2. enter the password

and that is it now we can run any GUI application that install on the server using his CPU cycles
