If you've ever heard of a small program called VNC, you may want to check that out. It shows an exact copy of the screen on a remote terminal and can even allow you keyboard and mouse control. I personally never got it to work on my Linux box, but I've used it extensively on the Windows side. But it came with my Mandrake distro, so I know it has to work. Good luck.
Here's their website if you want to see more:

They have downloads for Linux/SPARC/Windows/Macintosh and others including the source code for all.

OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
[server][::port|:display]
Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address,
it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter-
natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be used.
If the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is
specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed. Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024. If a display
number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port. Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the
same time.
