XWindows Question

XWindows Question
I have a pretty basic XWindows question. I'm using Linux and the BASH shell. I want to connect to a machine that is running a Java IDE (we currently have I think "SlickEdit" but we're probably going to download Netbeans, Eclipse) and view the IDE on the client machine. I tried "xhost +" on the client machine and then telnetted to the server and did:
set DISPLAY="myMachine"
When I tried to run the IDE though it didn't display on the client machine. I guess I have a couple of questions:
1) Can you run *any* app and reset the display to a different machine or does it have to be a special "XWindows enabled" app to do so?
2) I've seen in the past where you're supposed to do:
set DISPLAY="myMachine:0"
What in the world is the colon zero for?
Thanks and sorry for the basic-ness of my questions.

mkfs.minix
MKFS.MINIX(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual MKFS.MINIX(8) NAME
mkfs.minix - make a Linux MINIX filesystem SYNOPSIS
mkfs.minix [-c|-l filename] [-n namelength] [-i inodecount] [-v] device [size-in-blocks] DESCRIPTION
mkfs.minix creates a Linux MINIX file-system on a device (usually a disk partition). The device is usually of the following form: /dev/hda[1-8] (IDE disk 1) /dev/hdb[1-8] (IDE disk 2) /dev/sda[1-8] (SCSI disk 1) /dev/sdb[1-8] (SCSI disk 2) The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. It is present only for backwards compatibility. If omit- ted the size will be determined automatically. Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed. OPTIONS
-c Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file system. If any are found, the count is printed. -n namelength Specify the maximum length of filenames. Currently, the only allowable values are 14 and 30. The default is 30. Note that kernels older than 0.99p7 only accept namelength 14. -i inodecount Specify the number of inodes for the filesystem. -l filename Read the bad blocks list from filename. The file has one bad block number per line. The count of bad blocks read is printed. -v Make a Minix version 2 filesystem. EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.minix is one of the following: 0 No errors 8 Operational error 16 Usage or syntax error SEE ALSO
mkfs(8), fsck(8), reboot(8) AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.minix command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. Util-linux 2.6 2 July 1996 MKFS.MINIX(8)
