Yes.

There's really not much you need to install. Minimal install + xauth + gedit
and I'd have thought you were there. xauth is the important bit that you can
accidentally miss off. You just need to check for ssh X forwarding working.
ssh -Y to your server and "echo $DISPLAY". If it's not defined, you've got a
problem.
jh
I finally got it to work. I think the error was the lack of vfb=[] object during the
initial install. If you have a vfb from the beginning it will work.
I ended up with 267 packages in less than 900MB and all my goals were met:
++X11 forwarding works in ssh without an X server install
++geany works over ssh

next I want to compile a C6 kernel that supports nfs root.
