You basically just connect via the terminal, once logged in to the remote box, just start apps: eg: firefox

For file management I connect via konqueror with: fish://
Holy smokes, I never even heard about that until now. You mean I needn't set up NFS anymore? Wow. It's too bad this doesn't show up in the default Konqueror filemanager sidebar. I have a "network" button, which doesn't have any fishy thing, nor any other one of the mostly useless redundancies. Only "storage media," "Home," and "Root" do much useful.

Hmm, I can add a button though, with the fish:// URL for my other machine.

Cool.
