The X terminal runs an X server. (In X, the usage of "client" and "server" is from the viewpoint of the programs: the X server supplies a screen, keyboard and mouse to client programs.) This connects to an X display manager (introduced in X11R3) running on a central machine, using XDMCP (X Display Manager Control Protocol, introduced in X11R4).

X terminals have experienced a resurgence of interest in recent years with several companies producing dedicated X terminals today. Whereas X terminals (along with most computer hardware) were very expensive, X terminals available as of 2006 are typically 25-50% of the cost of a fully equipped workstation. Some organisations use other obsolete PCs as X terminals, often through net booting. These PCs do not require a local harddrive and after booting from the network often run a minimal Linux installation in a RAM disk or via NFS before starting the X server.

However, most remote X in commercial practice is done using X server software running on a Microsoft Windows or Linux desktop.
