Best solution for remote GUI access from Windows/Linux to Linux

[Arthur Pemberton]

Ok thanks for the suggestions. But from someone/people who know, what are
the pros/cons between xorg/vnc/freenx ? I know the later two are easier done
on Windows (which I may need when I am on a foriegn machine).

Knute, I might take up your offer as I am already familar with these two
pieces of software.

Thanks.
