Easy secure remote access ?


Being newbie with Linux I have a basic question. I have cable modem access to the net with a Dlink router at home. I have a couple windows pc's along with the new linux box i put in last night.

What's the easiest way (with some reasonable security) to access the home linix machine from outside? I was hoping for access through web browser to make it easy from anywhere?

Ok got it going . . . putty ssh tunnel . . . can run vnc over the ssh tunnel now. It's slow but it works. Next on the list is webmin . . . .
