If console access, SSH.
For GUI:
It used to be FreeNX, but the project seems to have not been updated in a
long time.  So far, it looks like the replacment is neatx which is
similar...using same protocols/compression (I believe).
The NX protocol is nice/fast, and secure (uses SSH)...
https://code.google.com/p/neatx/

Kind of related to the topic is a 'remote session manager' ...Currently use
PAC (Perl Auto Connector) Manager.  It lets you save your
preferences/settings for various sessions (ssh,rdp,etc).
It's like vRD on Windows.
