I use VNC (TightVNC) to access my linux desktop from my laptop,
and it works very well. One nice feature is that you can have multiple
people log on and share a desktop (i.e. to broadcast a meeting for
instance).

Another very nice feature is that you can go to that exact same desktop
from anywhere (different computers etc), so what I do is start a month long
number crunching routine in vnc on the desktop, then log in from work
to check the progress. Later than night log in from home to check it again.
Quite handy for a compute machine.

In fact, I don't even have my desktop hooked up to a monitor or keyboard,
I do all the interface via VNC from my laptop. Which allows me to do an
extended monitor with my laptop LCD, and my giant desktop LCD. nice.

Cheers,
bob
