So I'm running a Ubuntu box, and I killed the graphical bits and just
made it so I can SSH (with key) from my Windows desktop using PuTTY,
but if I want to get the graphical look back is running something like "Xming X Server" the route I want to use, or can I startup xwindows on
the Ubuntu system and remote connect? Basically I just want to be able
to run stuff like gtkmonitor instead of umonitor so I can keep an eye
on system status, or run a couple random xwindows bits for fun.

First mistake <grins> Ok, I am biased towards RHEL-based distros like CentOS and Fedora, but have never had any luck with the modern releases
of Ubuntu (give me back my 7.xx version of Ubuntu and I will run it all
day long <smiles>).

PuTTY and XMink are, in my experience, your best solution. We use it
where I work so that our developers can SSH into our application server
and use XMing to run things like Eclipse, Firefox, etc, through the SSH tunnel while still having the command line.

So I've been tinkering with Unix since SCO Unix, but it wasn't until Debian/Ubuntu that I started to really like using *nix like OSs. (That and I'm just tired of Windows bullshit). I used RedHat for a short while (couldn't tell you what version. 3? 4?). So what's RHEL mean?
What makes Cent/Fedora different?

Centos is the community/free version of RHEL. Fedora is the
community/free version of RedHat Linux for desktop and server (not sure how different Fedora server is from Centos in that regard).

I've run both on my Linux server. Fedora server gets updates and new kernels all the time, which can be obnoxious. CentOS/RHEL have a longer release cycle and don't receive as many updates. I was having issues with my Plex server and Virtualbox with CentOS/RHEL when 8 was released initially. I switched to Fedora and it works fine. Those issues are probably fixed but I feel no motivation to switch back.
On top of that, I'd use Vcxsrv instead of XMing, as Vcxsrv support
hardware accelerated rendering.
