Is this possible?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Correct.  You can use a remote desktop application to get to a graphical 
desktop (assuming the machine you are trying to get to is configured for 
that).  Ssh is not a graphical relay though you can do some port 
forwarding things to make it possible to use a remote desktop.

As I really dislike graphical things I would hav to look up the setting 
again but I do know that years ago I was able to use a remote desktop to 
access both linux and windows machines.  If they require accessibility 
then you have to have things like orca running on those machines and 
forward sound.
