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.

That sorta depends on what you mean by "access"..... If you just want
to log-in and use the basic linux commands, then you just need to get
a secure-shell (which I think is probably free). If you want to pass
x-graphics (such as xclock), then you need an x-server of some sort on
your windows machine. I have found that hummingbird exceed works
great, but is costly. If you want to "screen share", and project your
ubuntu screen on your windows machine, then you need to set up a VNC
server. I can't help you with this, since I primarily use Mac OSX
(laptop, home computer, and workstation), and modern OSX has a
screenshare app pre-installed.
But this should get you moving the right direction.

The nx server has to be running on the computer you want to access.
