If both of you have a DSL line running nomachine/NX is a very comfortable way 
for this. 
Nomachine/NX allows a X-Window session even if it is a small bandwith. You 
will get a full featured X-Session, even audio will work.

You will find nomachine packets at the kanotix site:
Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list file or pu it into a file 
called /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kanotix.list

deb http://kanotix.com/files/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib fix 

You should deactivate this line after you installed nomachine to avoid packets 
others than these get installed during the next 'apt-get upgrade'.
