Enabling remote logon - any decent intro docs?



Hi all

I have a guest account on my machine and want to enable that user to access that profile from another Debian machine on my LAN. This task is called remote networking, right? And as far as I can tell OpenSSH is probably the way to go. How can I give this user the experience (i.e. desktop, icons, files, etc.) from the LAN machine that they would get if they were logged in directly?

I'm sure that this is reasonably straight forward, but I can't seem to find a coherent answer in a language I can understand. I'm not hugely technical and most docs that I've come across seem to assume computer wizardry above my ability. I'm not expecting others to do the work, but just would appreciate a sign-post to some decent (newbie-friendly?) documents that will enable me to give a remote user a local experience of their user account while retaining a reasonable degree of security.

Any ideas?  Thanks very much

AG
