You just need to setup your shares on the Linux box with SAMBA..


Here is a decent article on getting started with SAMBA:

let me rephrase. i kinda want to have what VMware does. look here but i want to know if that works over the network rather than on a single dual boot system.

... Let's see i I got this straight.... you want an windows X-Server!?!?

I use X-Win32 from StarNet!
It works perfectly... You can also find numerous other version which include
several other utils like nfs mounts and lpr printing... But you can get away
without those using samba!!

Another option is to install the VNC server on the Linux box, and the VNC client on the Windows machine. Not as elegant as using an X server on a Windows machine, but gets the job done for some.
