Yes, but did you try it anyways? Most Linux distributions set XDMCP up as default when it sets up X. I would simply try it, before you worry about setting it up on the Linux system. Another thought about the Netscape problem you are having... How much time are you giving it to come up? How far away is the remote machine? (What is the ping rate?) If you have a ping rate of 70ms or so, Netscape will be dog slow, and could take as long as 10 minutes to come up.... X programs dont work too well over networks with latency (ie cable modem). The other thought, if you think your window manager is the problem... kill off twm, and run a window manager from the remote machine, and try it again.
