Step by step guide on how to RD to linux from XP?

[Frapple]

Brand new to linux, eventually got a Ventrilo server up and running. (Installing things isn't straight forward is it?)

Looking for a step-by-step, inc command lines (i.e not just "extract to usr and install") on how to set up a remote desktop server so I can control it from home.

Google is no help.

It's more for setting new stuff up than maintaining the Vent server.

Just want to be able to control it without having to swap my monitor over & plugging a moue and keyboard into it.

Ah sorry, I actually read that I meant to say!

Latest Ubuntu version, what ever that would be.

Thanks!
