If not, then it will not work as it does for you (for whom these assumptions must be correct).  If the student is connected to galaxy via another computer, then that computer must be running X windows.  If it is to run Internet windows then there must be an AIPS on the student's computer at least to put up local copies of the TV and other servers.
