I myself was thinking of trying to make VNC work, maybe with KDE or
something. Not sure about the security implications though. VNC behaves like
an X server but is actually a "pc anywhere" like thing, that you can view
from some other machine (multiplatform) using a password in a
challenge-response scheme. With some hacking, you could even tunnel it thru
ssh.

Maybe that's a better idea, not having to set up vga etc. That is unless
you're planning to connect a monitor to the machine?

VNC is at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html
