There are thousands of ways to access a running Linux machine. In case you need for whatever reason remote access to a full session, one easy way is x11vnc.
On the remote box
If not already done, install x11vnc:
sudo aptitude install x11vnc
Finally start the vnc server:
x11vnc -display :0
On the local box
Connect to the running X11 session with a vncviewer:
vncviewer <remote server ip address or host name>:0
