So good old ssh is not enough ?

Also,

so there's no GUI/display manager installed on the server ?

What are you actually trying to accomplish ?

Use ssh, if you need the same session on both ends I use tmux.

ssh

edit:
catie wong, you should search a little yourself before you ask.
a quick search (tm) would have answered yoru question (it's a good question) very quickly:

Definitely ssh.

Since you will be coming in over the Internet, you'll have to make sure the proper routing is in place (port forwarding, etc., ...) as well as make sure you use ssh securely.

Let us know if you require any further assistance - as mentioned, however, there is extensive information readily available on the web. I can suggest the Arch Linux wiki as a good place - there are undoubtedly others:
