You probably want to take a look at vnc.  You will need to configure and
start vncserver on the system you want to look at.  Then you run
vncviewer from your system.  vncviewer can be run in a couple of modes,
you can set it up so you only view or you can use it to allow you to
control the other system, drive the mouse and such.

Note: if you are doing this over the Internet you will want to run this
over an ssh tunnel as vnc is not secure.  ssh can also help resolve
firewall issues as well.
