With ssh or from the console.  If I am accessing from a windows 
machine I use PuTTY...it works, it is free, and I can run it 
from a floppy if I can't install it on the machine I'm working 
from.

I never use telnet or remote X access.  I think all *NIX distro's 
ship with ssh, so why risk telnet?
