You can ssh-tunnel just about anything, but I'd still pick freenx/NX as 
the first choice if you plan to use it much and only consider the others 
  where that isn't available.  If the target is fedora, just 'yum 
install freenx'.  Then you need to get the client ssh key from 
/etc/nxserver to the client machine and import it in the client 
configuration program - and make sure the 'use ssl encryption for entire 
session' option is set.  Everything else is pretty obvious.  I've only 
used the windows and mac clients though, so I'm not quite sure how the 
linux client setup works.
