That leads me to this thought: if you really want access to a GUI
desktop on your home machine, and/or don't want to carry an Putty floppy
with you...
What about installing (Tight)VNC on your Linux machine, and use its
HTTP/Java capabilities to get to your machine from any
Internet-connected machine that has a Java-capable browser?
The beauty of that is that that web page Kenneth proposes could then
have an actual *link* to your X desktop!
That is perhaps not too secure, but you could always run apache-ssl, or
apache + mod_ssl, with authentication, and use mod_proxy to forward
requests to Xvnc.
Mind you, personally I'd rather just use Putty/SSH when possible, and I
use DynDNS for the addressing. I would think the above would be
substantially slower - but it could help you out in a pinch.

If your isp has possibilities for a homepage you can make cron.hourly
and put a script there.
Example of script is:
ken@pingu:~$ cat ip.script
#!/bin/bash
wget www.showmyip.com -O /var/tmp/ip grep nextgen /var/tmp/ip | cat
/var/tmp/test.html ncftpput -u kennkarl -p xxxwhatever
home.broadpark.no / /var/tmp/test.html
ken@pingu:~$
--
results :
http://home.broadpark.no/~kennkarl/test.html
Im never more than a hour away from home

You'll need some way of identifying your home machine remotely. I use
dyndns.org's service to get DNS.
You'll also need to install ssh if you intend on logging in remotely.
