ummm... was there and answer somewhere in there? 
I don't want a terminal... I do fairly well with that kind of stuff considering alot of the server maintenance for the site requires it. But, I want something graphical for home network use...  |

I never tried it, but this may be a step in the right direction...

It'll technically be X-over-SSH (which is much more secure than Remote Desktop Connection). You'll need to configure your X server to listen for incoming TCP requests and not just service localhost.

Everyone knows that. Linux/UNIX was made to be multi-user system, unlike Windows.  The question is not remote access such as SSH, but a remote desktop-like method of access.
Also, BB, VNC would work, however X limits the choice of VNC clients. Your best bet for VNC would probably be http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/DTG/attarchive/vnc/xvnc.html . This takes all the builtin secure features of SSH/X terminal, however. |

That seems to be the reverse of what BB needs. Remote Desktop Connecion would be better than VNC if connecting Linux -> Windows, anyway, IMHO.

I'm pretty sure he's going Windows>Linux.
