I am still not quite sure about your intentions, however, I will assume you want access to a (any) XP machine from your Linux server.

1. go to http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi, and download the Windows and Linux versions. RPM available, if your system supports RPM's.
2. Install VNC on both machines; you only need a viewer on the Linux side. The is an option to create a VNC service for Windows.
3. Start the VNC viewer on your Linux. Enter the name (or ip-address) of your XP machine, enter the session password you entered during installation, and you're off.
