I have a couple servers, using a KVM to have them share a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Alas, it looks like the monitor has died.
I also have a workstation in which I have OpenSuse running within a virtual machine. I can ssh from that virtual machine to these servers, but I am not yet comfortable with using only a terminal to work on a computer (I did so decades ago in the days of DOS, but that was a lifetime ago, and I don't recall anything useful from that time).
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.
Thanks

I thank everyone that replied to this. Clearly I have a number of options, and some studying to do. One thing that impinges on performance is that these machines are all sitting on my desk, connected by a 1 Gbps LAN, so I doubt performance will be all that bad. ;-) The challenge I have now is to determine whether or not everything needed for each option is installed on each of the machines, as well as what command's I'd need to invoke on the servers I am trying to connect to and what commands I'd need to invoke on the virtual machine (or if possible, on my Windows 7 workstation). But with the info provided so far, I should be able to figure all that out.
