 You obviously need to run X (aka X11 or X11R6). If you're seeing just a big 
black
 screen (similar to the old DOS from that other company) try to run 'startx' .
 
 You can't ssh (or telnet *shrug*) in from Windows and expect it to work, you 
need to 
 run X on your unix box, period. If you want to run from Windows you need an 
 X-server like Exceed or something like TightVNC that can provide Windows
 with an X connedtion to your unix box.

 As Christophe Lambin said; check your $DISPLAY, it should say something like
 ":0.0" or "localhost:0.0"
