I know there are lots of remote desktops out there, but in my experience, noMachine is the easiest to setup and run in about 10 minutes... and it is free.
For this tutorial, I will assume your seedbox is running on Ubuntu 14.04 or greater (64bit)
Install on Seedbox
1. Open up a terminal and SSH into your server with a user that has sudo privileges.
2. Start by getting yourself sound support:
3. Next, download and install noMachine:
4. Be sure to allow incoming connections on TCP Port 4000 (TCP, and UDP 4011-4999 if you are running a firewall.
If you are using UFW:
If you are using iptables:
If you are not using a firewall:
5. You are all set now.
The Client
Go to the app store for your tablet and find the noMachine app, and download it. When you setup a new connection, use NX protocol, your seedbox IP number, and the rest of the defaults. You should be able to connect quickly. The app has a great little built-in tutorial on how to use it. You can also download the client for your laptop of desktop here: https://www.nomachine.com
Caveats
Remember that if the server is on your home connection, and is behind a router, you will have to go into your router's settings and port forward TCP Port 4000 (TCP, and UDP 4011-4999 to your server.
