If you want to see graphical output, e.g. from IDL, then you will need
an X server. We use NX here (which would be free for you to install on
your home system), and vastly preferable to non-optimized X servers such
as eXceed due to the inbuilt compression of the X protocol which NX
provides.

However, I would not recommend using the full desktop over a home
network connection. I don't know Ubuntu so don't know what alternative
desktops it provides. We use openSUSE, and most users prefer the
reasonably lightweight XFCE desktop for remote sessions.
