In X11, the little guy is the one who is using a little section of the bitmap diosplay. The "big guy" is the one with the big bitmap diosplay (the entire screen).

No insult was intended. It's pretty obvious once you think about it. Q: what service does X11 Windows System provide?

Don't be confused because you first start a ssh session from the workstation, and then start an X11 session from the remote machine. |
