Is it possible to run something like a remote Desktop on Linux or Windows, so that you could access your Mac through that system?

Your best bet would be to use VNC for something like this. Servers and clients exist for pretty much every platform out there, including Macs (both OS9 and OSX).
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

The easiest way to run remote Linux commands on a Mac is to open Xwindows on your mac, open a terminal and type in: ssh -X ipaddressoflinuxpc -l user. After you log on you can run linux program on you desktop. You can even use compression with the -C switch.
