If you install VNC on both the machines, you needed worry about sharing
monitor, keyboard, and mouse because you can control one machine from
another.
And VNC is cross-platform, in case you ever need to run W*nd*ws.

VNC's development sems to have split rather, take your choice
from the following:

www.realvnc.com
www.tightvnc.com
www.tridiavnc.com


As for sharing the Internet connection, you need to setup iptables
to do IP masquerading, and allow IP forwarding in the kernel.

If there's any call for it, I can post my iptables setup, which
was manually done, quite simple, and blocks all inbound connections.
