If you want to run just a few programs with GUI and have a linux machine to connect from, set your sshd at your home computer to forward X11 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes
and connect to it using ssh homecomputer -X This way, you can start GUI programs from console and they will use the X server on your local machine to display their interface.
