X2Go

Requires an X2Go server running on the target server. Creates a full remote desktop session.

X11 Forwarding

As long as your current environment supports X11, X11 forwarding can be enabled for an SSH connection using the -Y flag, eg:

ssh -Y username@gplogin3.ps.uci.edu

The forwarding can be tested by running glxgears.
