Hi, Linux has had this for years. You can use both a shell login (that gives you a "terminal" on the remote machine) or combine it with VNC. VNC will enable you to have a remote graphic desktop.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC Have a read of those two pages, and have a stab at it. You will have to get your hands a bit dirtier than with LogMeIn, but you'll have a more secure connection with no mysterious third parties involved. You will definately have to forward some ports on routers and firewalls. Good luck.
