I'm a Linux Uber-Noob, and have landed myself in a role where I am responsible for administration of a remote Centos 5 machine :-o. I'm figuring I stand a much better chance of success with a GUI than simple command line stuff through SSH. Is there a Linux version of Window's Remote Desktop?
Cheers.

Re: GUI Remote Administration
Use ssh -X.
This will run the remote GUI application on your local X window.

Because you're now a professional linux sysadmin, it's time for you to read official doc .. it never hurts :-D

BTW : if you *really* need X (but i wonder why on a server ...), try nx/freenx ... see http://wiki.centos.org to know how to install/use it
