I use "putty" as my sshclient whenever I'm on a Windows machine. For file editing, I use vim, but nano would be more user friendly. putty is nice because you can download the executable from the internet and don't even have to install, just run the executable. I have used tightvnc to access a remote box, which gives you the desktop, and it can be tunneled over ssh. Very nice. The fastest desktop product is nx and nxserver. It is not opensource, but I believe there is some provision for personal use. I would guess that it can be tunneled over ssh. Not sure about the mapping.
