Putty works.  Remember that, by default, all later implementations of
ssh use SSHV2.  Older machines used SSHV1 (ssh1).

You need to permit X access to your Linux machine.  As root on the
Linux machine:

	# xhost +hostname-or-IP-of-your-Windows-machine

If you're not worried about security, just use "xhost +" instead and
you've disabled X security completely.  Also, don't forget that X is
X--not Windows--so your Windows box must be running an X server package
such as Hummingbird for it to work.
