What is X Server and Remote Terminal Server?

Question

Can someone explain what is the difference between X server and remote terminal servers?

For example, Hummingbird Exceed is an X server, and Citrix is ​​a remote terminal server. How do these servers work?

Answer 1

The terminal server starts on a “different” machine when you use the remote desktop client to view a different computer screen.

The X server (from the Window Window System) runs on your computer, while the anoter machine (or several of them) sends its output to your computer.
