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!
