If your connection is local (LAN), vnc will work fine. I found this
web page helpful:

http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_RHEL_6_Desktop

My favorite is nx/freenx which is especially suitable when the
connection is slow (WAN).  The version that runs under RHEL-6
(therefore SL-6) is available from my site:

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/6/

Install both nx and freenx (they will eventually be in CentOS extras).
The HowTo for freeNX setup can be found here:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/FreeNX

You most likely need to take care of SELinux on SL6. Follow this blog:

Hope this helps,
