Ssh is the de facto standard for remote administration but It lacks the
ability to give you a GUI interface. SSH Is quick and dirty remote
administration and comes standard (or should ) on all Unix variants.
(openssh.com)

TightVNC is a rather "unrobust" remote X server but it gets the job done. This
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
administration. It offers very robust and configurable remote X server
connections that are compressed and secured. This can be used over low
bandwidth connections because it uses caching and compression. As far as I
remember, they offer single user single machine trial liscenses so you can
test drive the technology before buying and I dont think that the licenses
are terribly expensive.

HTH!
