VNC



Hi.

VNC is an excellent tool. Probably the best cross-platform client there is,
especially with its neat features that include (but are not limited to) free
source, Windows/Linux/UNIX interoperability, lightweight, and other cool
stuff.

However, it's very important to note that VNC is very insecure when used
across an untrusted network (i.e. the Internet).
See the following articles for more information about the possible problems
with using VNC over an insecure network, and the last article for info on
securing VNC:
