start putty, with hostname being:
vlsi.eecs.ucf.edu - Also, on the left hand side, under connection for putty's configuration, expand the "SSH" tab and select "X11". In here, enable "X11 forwarding". You can now save this connection info in putty and start the ssh connection. Then login with your account, and you can run programs from the linux box on Windows.
