You'll probably want to use VNC for this... run a VNC server on your  
server, and VNC clients on the machines that connect to it.  See  
http://realvnc.com and http://tightvnc.com, for example.

FWIW, VNC has nothing to do with GNOME specifically, it works on all  
sorts of desktops.  GNOME does come with a VNC server (called vino),  
but it only exports the desktop that's currently visible on the  
screen, as it was really intended to be used as a kind of 'remote  
assistance' feature like Windows has.  So that's not quite what you  
want.

Or you could buy some SunRays instead :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
