One of the nicest ways to work remotely is with the NX client that you 
can download from http://www.nomachine.com and freenx on the server. 
The client works cross-platform, is easy to install, and gives an X 
desktop that uses less bandwidth and has much better performance than 
normal remote X.  The connection can run over ssh so it can be used with 
or without a vpn.

If you meant that you want to boot thin clients over the vpn, that is 
probably possible but network latency or low bandwidth will kill the 
performance.  The NX client will give you what looks like the same 
desktop on a remote windows, mac, or linux box that you've booted some 
other way.
