Yup.  If every other system you're supporting is Linux, then SSH is
all you need (and it's X11 forwarding option is your friend).  If not,
you'll have to go with the much slower, much more insecure VNC.


You can always tunnel the VNC connection through SSH.  It's what
I do for those unfortunate times I stuck on a windows machine
(since the VNC viewer and PuTTY are monolithic executables that
don't require administrative privileges to install).
