in addition to text only access, if you want, you can run gui apps on the remote box and use the display you are sitting at. Again ssh sets all the X session forwarding up for you by default. ssh is without a doubt one of the essential programs on any *nix box in my opinion. The concept of remote access and administration is an inherent part of *nixes that I forget is is a novelty to folks coming from other OSes. Once you get ssh working login to your headless box from another linux box via xterm. type xclock and if all the X stuff is installed, marvel at the display of the clock that shows the time on the remote box. This is VERY cool stuff and once you get used to it you will be pissed when you use anything else.
