    Try OpenSSH. It gives you a secure shell (using OpenSSL to encrypt all data sent over the connection).

    If running from Windows you can download CYGWIN (unix utilities for Windows) Make sure to install the SSH client and all its dependents. You can ssh -X user@192.168.1.1 (or whatever IP address).

    This will foward XWindow packets so you can get the GUI up and run startkde, konqueror, nautilus, etc.. Make sure your remote pc has port tcp port 22 iirc opened and sshd daemon is running.
