Windows client, linux X server

[Andrew Gould]

I like tightvnc (or vnc).  Each user can have his/her
own uniquely configured session; and this can be
different from the desktop that would appear if the
user was logging in locally.  For example, on a server
at work, I can log into a KDE desktop; but when I use
tightvnc to login remotely, I use something lighter
(xfce).

Since I don't want the vncserver using resources all
the time; I use ssh to login and turn vncserver on
manually before I login graphically.  I use the same
ssh session to turn it off when I'm done.

Tightvnc and vnc are available for many operating
systems; and work across different platforms.  There's
even a vnc client for Windows CE to extend the
usefulness of a PDA by leaps and bounds.
