Is ssh the correct answer for this?
If so as root type | Code: | # /etc/init.d/sshd start
# ifconfig (to find out your IP) |
then from another computer, if windows download a ssh client, type ssh -l yourusername your.i.p.address and log into your computer.

You want an actual X server or a console? Well of course you know you can use ssh for the later. If you want and X server you can use Xorg. What I use succesfully is VNC. I want to send email on my notebook, which is in one room in the building. And my admin boxes are in another room. So I usually always have a VNC session for viewing my notebooks screen and inputing keyboard and mouse events. It works pretty well for the most part. Sometimes when typing I get double letters. Also VNC is easily run on Windows platforms and I think MAC OS as well.
KDE also uses VNC for it's "Desktop Sharing." So that should work with any vnc client.

maybe an is all you'll need. But you will most definatly still have to config X.
Please be warned that it may not be that not be easy to setup a system to allow multiple independent logins/connections to your server via VNC(if you want them to all have separate desktop) VNC is mostly beneficial for one user at a time. It sounds like you need a proper x server and client. The above link will teach you how to setup Xorg, and nice desktop GUIs such a KDE and Gnome.
If someone else knows how to setup a client to connect to the server, please advise.
