I've been pretty happy with the standard client:
vnc-4.1.2-9.fc6
I use it with the standard server:
vnc-server-4.1.2-9.fc6
I was using both for remote access across by not very broadband
connection (~500kbs point-to-point wireless) and just changed the color
depth to something more reasonable (e.g., to 8 bit depth from 24 bit).
You wouldn't want to run a fps game that way but it was quite sufficient
for remote administration. LAN access is almost indistinguishable from
being on the console but its a gigabit LAN.
Cheers,
Dave
