You mean from a thin client? The sort of stuff Citrix does?

Check out LTSP - Linux Terminal Server project. (http://www.ltsp.org)

"Linux makes a great platform for deploying diskless workstations that boot
from a network server. The LTSP is all about running thin client computers
in a GNU/Linux environment. "

It works with X, according to the web page.
