Yeppers.

I've only used X-Win32, and it's not hard.  The new version's a lot easier 
than the old one, but setting it up's still not easy like most Windows 
software is easy.  Definitely do-able with a bit of thought and the help 
file, though.

My Abington Bible Commentary doesn't mention the X Windows System, so I 
think you're safe from devine retribution.
