start X with TCPIP listener

I am trying to see if its possible to have my machine boot directly into a remote X display session.

When i read the man X it says

 X  servers  listen  for connections on a variety of different communications channels (network byte streams, shared memory, etc.).  Since there can be more than one way of contacting a given server, The hostname part of
       the display name is used to determine the type of channel (also called a transport layer) to be used.  X servers generally support the following types of connections:

       local
               The hostname part of the display name should be the empty string.  For example:  :0, :1, and :0.1.  The most efficient local transport will be chosen.

       TCPIP
               The hostname part of the display name should be the server machine's hostname or IP address.  Full Internet names, abbreviated names, IPv4 addresses, and IPv6 addresses are all allowed.   For  example:  x.org:0,
               expo:0, [::1]:0, 198.112.45.11:0, bigmachine:1, and hydra:0.1.

So if that so I configure the remote X to boot up with a TCPIP listner and then on my local

man xinit says

xinit [ [ client ] options ... ] [ -- [ server ] [ display ] options ... ]

so does it mean if my remote X server has the tcpip listener then locally my xinit goes something like

xinit ... -- X remoteip:displaynumber ?

would work? I know about x forwarding and xpra vnc all that but I am looking to just experiment with what has been written in these documents,

I am still waiting for the remote x server to install so I thought I will clear my doubts by asking someone here.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
