I want to have my linux machine be a server, and I want to run some
sort of client on my Windows 2000 machine. I have ssh, ftp, setup,
but I want to be able to start up x-windows and see it from some
client program on windows. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?

There are a number of proprietary X servers available for Windows, such
as Exceed.

The standard open source solution, and IMHO the best solution, is VNC.

This is all the "real stuff", ported to win32. They have XFree86
http://cygwin.com/xfree/

Install that stuff for Windows, then run your xterm, do ssh -X into your
linux host :)

Google for Cygwin.

Winaxe, and Hummingbird, IIRC are two of the more well known and
respected names for providing windows based X windows servers.

I second the motion for Winaxe - I have
very good luck with it.
