In most case I login to the server as a root and start the X server manually by calling the startx function. After the I can use X11 forwarding. However I would like to know how can I start X11 as a service on boot time?

You can set the default runlevel in /etc/inittab.
Runlevel 3, which is most probabyl set right now only starts multiuser without graphical systems.
If you change it to 5 it should start X11 on boot.

As long as a display manager is installed it should, yes. – Gerald Schneider Aug 18 '14 at 10:58
