TightVNC is definitely the way to go.  If you have GNU/Linux on the client
side and a Windows box on the server side. (sickening I know) I strongly
suggest you use rDesktop (http://www.rdesktop.org/).  It is a GPL RDP
(Remote Desktop Protocol) client.  The ONLY reason I say this is the
performance of VNC is hindered on windows, because they are limited in the
information they get, so they can't properly optimize.  RDP is a Micro$oft
thing and so its extremely fine tuned performance wise.

I have used both quite a bit and think both are better than PCAnywhere or
Laplink and certainly are less expensive. ;)
