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
