First question would be, what variety of UNIX are you installing on it? Most Linux distributions come with sshd, so setting up remote access is relatively simple.
Second question is, how remote? If you want people to access it across the internet, you may or may not need to arrange things like port forwarding with your ISP, depending if you're behind a firewall or not, what ports they block, etc. If you just want to give people on a LAN access, you don't need to worry about that.

xon(1X) xon(1X)
NAME
xon - start an X program on a remote machine
SYNOPSIS
xon remote-host [-access] [-debug] [-name window-name] [-nols] [-screen screen-no] [-user user-name] [command...]
OPTIONS
Note that the options follow the remote host name (as they do with rlogin). Runs xhost locally to add the remote host to the host access
list in the X server. This will not work unless xhost is given permission to modify the access list. Normally, xon disconnects the remote
process from stdin, stdout and stderr to eliminate the daemon processes which usually connect them across the network. Specifying the
-debug option leaves them connected so that error messages from the remote execution are sent back to the originating host. This specifies
a different application name and window title for the default command (xterm). Normally xon passes the -ls option to the remote xterm;
this option suspends that behaviour. This changes the screen number of the DISPLAY variable passed to the remote command. By default, xon
simply uses rsh/remsh/rcmd to connect to the remote machine using the same user name as on the local machine. This option cause xon to
specify an alternative user name. This will not work unless you have authorization to access the remote account, by placing an appropriate
entry in the remote users file.
DESCRIPTION
The xon program runs the specified command (default xterm -ls) on the remote machine using rsh, remsh, or rcmd. xon passes the DISPLAY,
XAUTHORITY and XUSERFILESEARCHPATH environment variables to the remote command.
When no command is specified, xon runs 'xterm -ls'. It additionally specifies the application name to be 'xterm-remote-host' and the win-
dow title to be 'remote-host'.
xon can only work when the remote host will allow you to log in without a password, by having an entry in the file permitting access.
BUGS
xon can get easily confused when the remote-host, user-name or various environment variable values contain white space.
xon has no way to send the appropriate X authorization information to the remote host.
