Is it posible to have some kind of GUI, either KDE or Gnome, that runs over ssh to let me work on those machines, at least until I can get out to get a replacement monitor? Ideally, whatever is suggested would be viable for both the Ubuntu server and the Opensuse server.
I'd use something like x11vnc rather than try to run the desktop over the network. That way, if you lose your connection, the apps won't crash - you can just reconnect to it. Tunnel over ssh for a secure connection. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/tunneling-vnc-connections-over-ssh- howto.html is an example of how to do it (just a hit off Google).
