How do I explain this. If i want to do some maintenance to the server. In Windows you have remote desktop connection. How is that with Linux?

ssh (putty on Windows) is your friend.
maintenance consists usually of "yum update -y" and your system is up to date again.

you can also schedule this to get the latest updates once every while... but basically that's it.

VNC is the equivalent in Linux.

SSH (as moredruid suggested) can help too if you know what commands you need to type, which i am guessing you probably do not.

WebVNC is a app that let's you access a VNC server over a web browser.

a different protocol is FreeNX, faster (can do video), however, harder to setup.
