Connect to Remotely to Linux by VirtualBox

[Kdar]

Hello.

My University have a CentOS Linux Server with a lot of accounts for students.

I can connect to my home directory by using ssh

ssh -Y username@machine-name.eng.uah.edu

But is there a way to open that desktop, that session, in VirtualBox on my laptop? So that I can able to see it graphically (just like I would if I would connect to the server in the Lab).

remote desktop connections in linux work over a protocol named vnc. the vnc server for GNOME is called vino.
