If you just want file access (all you'll get with samba), winscp might
work. For a full GUI desktop, the nicest way is to install freenx from
the Centos extras or EPEL repositories and run the NX client that you
can download from www.nomachine.com. Note that freenx generates a
unique keypair for each install, so you need to paste the contents of
the server /etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key file into the client
configure/key dialog to allow the connection.
