SSH Is quick and dirty remote=20 administration and comes standard (or should ) on all Unix variants.=20 (openssh.com) TightVNC is a rather "unrobust" remote X server but it gets the job don= e. This=20 will let you connect remotely and get an X GUI session open. If you can afford it, try to look into NXMachine (No Machine) remote=20 administration. It offers very robust and configurable remote X server=20 connections that are compressed and secured. This can be used over low=20 bandwidth connections because it uses caching and compression. As far a= s I=20 remember, they offer single user single machine trial liscenses so you = can=20 test drive the technology before buying and I dont think that the licen= ses=20 are terribly expensive.
