If you want all your customisations and settings and such, starting a plain X server on the local machine and then running something along the lines of "ssh -f remotehost gnome-session" should do the trick. I haven't tried that in a while, though, it could be that GNOME or KDE keep per display settings or might surprise you in other ways... If you want to access the *same* desktop you see on the console you may find the new vnc module available in FC2 the way to go. Have a look at http://www.realvnc.org/v4/x0.html for information on how to set it up. You need to install the vnc-server package in FC2. The VNC approach works very well for me, but be aware of potential performance issues with running VNC via SSH over lossy links. Cheers Steffen.
