Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What's the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.

I'm a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.

Install x2go on the client machine. You need X and SSH on the target machine. That's it, when you connect it will open a new desktop session on the server.

If you want to connect to an existing desktop session you need x2godesktopsharing installed on the target, you need to activate sharing in x2godesktopsharing, and in x2go client you need to select "session type" as "X2Go/X11 desktop sharing".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
