For SC and OS administration, SSH is really all you need once you find
the necessary commands.

But Ubuntu can be controlled through any VNC program provided you have
the desktop GUI and set it using System - Control Center - Remote
Desktop.

Then just use a viewer on a remote PC.  For Windows, I use TightVNC. 
It's small, it's free, it's fast and it's very reliable.

I found that the Ubuntu PC needs to be booted with a monitor attached
for this to happen, otherwise X isn't started (although SSH works
fine).  I'm sure there's a way around this but I haven't found it.
