remotely controlling your computer

[Dazed_75]

VNC is pretty handy for such things though you may need to set up VPN and
SSH to do it securely from the internet (read the tutorials).  It also has
the benefit of being cross platform and the [dis-]advantage (depending on
who you ask) of being primarily GUI based.  There are several flavors of
VNC:
  http://www.realvnc.com/
  http://www.tightvnc.com/
  http://www.uvnc.com/

At SLUG, we mostly use TightVNC but we are also using it within a LAN most
of the time.  BTW, it is really handy for doing classes and meetings where
people can look at there own screens to see what the instructor/lecturer is
doing.
