Can you clarify what you're talking about?

If your inquiring how to remote to a linux box from another linux box then:

First, install the ssh server: sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Next, edit the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config making sure they contain the following lines:

ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes

Now open /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure the following line is in that config file:

X11Forwarding yes

On the client machine (machine your using to remote into the linux host) launch terminal and type:

ssh -X [email]user_name@the_server_IP_or_hostname.domain[/email]ame

Accept the RAS key and enter your password.

You should now be able to see your desktop.

Best reason to use ssh -x is because the graphic rendering job is done at your client so the data to transfer through the network is not huge.
