acessing linux from a restricted windows environment


Hello all!

At present my challenge is to acess my gentoo desktop from my work place where I have many dead hours to kill!
At work we have windows xp with unlimited internet acess, yet we can't execute any unallowed apps! At home I have gentoo!

I've heard some colleagues talking about ssh logins, but I don't really now much about that!

What would I need to make it work? (Please take into account that I can't install any apps!)

Would I need to install an ssh extension on the windows desktop(which I can't do) or could I acess my gentoo by acessing a ssh shell from some already available website!
Would I need to setup one up myself? How could I do that? Would I need to register a domain and associate it to my gentoo machine! How could I set this up?

The second part of the question refers to the graphical aspect! Is it possible to remotely work with kde or would I have to work from the shell? From what I know I need x to send a shell for me to work with a desktop environment! Would I need to pipe an x session somehow? How!

VNC comes to mind, but not only am i a n00b as also I can't install any applications at work! What course should I take?

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
