The rlogin option on PuTTY is to support an obsolete and very insecure remote
login procedure that shouldn't be used on any modern Linux/Unix system.
For GUI display you basically have two approaches:
1) Share the whole Linux desktop using something like vnc - which lots of
people have already suggested. It's simple and it works well. It can be made
to be secure using SSH or you can run it without security. NoMachine is
another similar but proprietary tool for doing the same.
2) Run an X server on your Windows system (Cygwin or XMing) and then SSH onto
you Linux box and have the graphical output displayed on the Windows box
without taking over the whole Windows desktop.
Either method is valid, it depends on how you want to use the system really.
