I second the recommendation for NX, especially if you want a full desktop.
There is a better version of NX in the upcoming 5.2 release in the
extras repo.
The major difference between nx/freenx and vnc is that NX is compressed,
so the desktop is pretty much like running it on the machine, where vnc
(and normal X forwarding via ssh) are much slower. I use a remote NX
desktop all the time, and it really is just like being on the machine.
