It’s really helpful to remote your Linux. For example if your Linux is in Data Center where the place is so cold and there is no ‘cozy’ place for you to install and configure something in your Linux that need X11(Like install Oracle using Oracle Universal Installer).
To remote your Linux into your workstation you need software to remote your Linux, for now i choose Xmanager (Quite simple but “LICENSED” huh). There is other tool like VNC or XMing(I think i choose XManager because i’ve use it in my Solaris Box long time ago and always got good connection using it)
So to enable your Linux for remote desktop just follow this simple instruction :
1. Open gdm.conf configuration file, usually located in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf or /etc/gdm/custom.conf
2. Edit gdm.conf file, in section [gdcmp] change enable = false to enable = true
3. Change run level to 5 in file /etc/inittab (example : x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
4. Restart gdm service by simply run command : gdm-restart
5. Find your Xmanager source, installed it but not crack it.
PS : To enable X graphic open your terminal using root and type xhost +
Now let see my Linux Box in my workstation

I use Xmanager to connect to the remote servers as well. Xshell and Xftp (other products from Netsarang) just became free for home and school use.
