well putty is only for access over telnet / ssh etc, although it can tunnel other protocols like vnc which will give you an X console. you might like to look at freenx which is a pretty good and accurate replica of windows remote desktop, wrapping vnc and ssh together. take a look.

I recommend using Xmanager and Xshell together.

Xmanager and Xshell are both developed by the same company (NetSarang Computer, Inc.). Xshell is free for home and school users and packs more user convenience features than Putty.

Xshell (secure terminal emualtor): http://www.xmanager.com
Xmanager (PC X server): http://www.xshell.com
