On your Win you run putty (available on the SUSE mirrors or after 2
seconds with a searchengine)

I asume there will be tools around if you need a GUI. I always do it
without and have 100% control over my machine.

I'm posting this from my home machine at the moment using Putty, ssh
and the Screen program. The Screen program is great as it allows you to
multiplex many shell prompts on one window. If the connection goes down
then when you get to reconnect you can reattach. I have mail with mutt,
news with slrn and some web searches I prefer to do in w3m. I also have
my home address book and password list for web sites. I've not used it
for file access though sftp comes to mind - which works over ssh.

It is possible to forward X to something like the XServer in Cygwin. It
can be a little slow on a cheap ADSL connection with modern more
resource hungry desktops.

VNC has a Java client which runs in the browser. It should be possible to
tunnel this over ssh using Putty. I don't know about NX, apart from that
it's more modern.

Using ssh and tunnels you restrict the entry points to your system to
just one. It's also a pretty secure one that's well tested and has been
around for a while. It can be restricted to require passwords, or
certificates. It can prevent remote root logins. I also have my firewall
set to allow connections only from my work's gateway IP address.
