I have a Linux server (Fedoracore) and I’ve seen my supervisor remote control to it from Windows XP Pro. Can anyone help me to set up a Linux server to make it available to remote control like that?

Nearly all Linux Servers can be fully controlled by ssh using an ssh client on windows (like putty – http://putty.org/ ) SSH is already installed and running on the server.
You will need to use the command line but that isn’t that difficult.
If you want to use a graphics control, you need VNC etc to allow you to "view" the desktop. However, running graphical interface on a server wastes tons of resources and opens security holes.
