remote computing software

Was going to post things in /g/ but eh...

I see alot of people with alot of computers lying around, and alot of the time they are all in use without having a display for them all.

I'm just looking for suggestions on software that I can use to remotely use computers over a network, perferably with a desktop view. Really the freature built into XP is no good for me, I use computers running all kinds of windows. I know of some, but I am interested in knowing what people actulay use.

RealVNC. I love it.

I use ssh ALL the time. I play music stored on my desktop off of its speakers from my laptop, etc. You can also foreward X through ssh, so remote graphical apps can be run. This only works under Unix (Linux) though. There is a nice windows client called putty, so you could put a unix on your server and connect to it from a windows box.

I did not know this. I'll have to try it.

I have admin to a friend's IIS server. I use rdesktop for that, works well enough.

So any other suggestions?

Bumping this since it hasnt gotten many suggestions....

Because there aren't many choices.

If you want desktop you have the choice of Remote Desktop (windows), X (*nix), and VNC. If you want CLI you have SSH and telnet, both *nix.

Oh, there's also Citrix.
