We are studying the X-ray emission of galaxies (without AGN) locally through wide-area surveys (mostly from serendipitous data) and pointed observations of well-defined samples, and at z>0 in the Chandra Deep Fields. Our emphasis is currently on the integrated emission of the galaxies. Current results show that relation between X-ray emission and star-formation rate is probably not a simple linear correlation. The X-ray emission from late-type galaxies evolves significantly more strongly than that of early-type galaxies, which is expected given that the X-ray emission of late-type galaxies is usually dominated by recent star formation. Examples will be shown of where these results help to constrain the assessment of whether of the soft X-ray spectrum from AGN or potential AGN is dominated by starburst or AGN emission. The prospects of future very wide X-ray surveys from both current and future X-ray satellites will also be discussed.
