I have been thinking VNC. My problem is I travel a lot and have to
manage a couple of applications that use x-windows control panels for my
wife's business and am looking for the most efficient way.
I can do it quite well if I am home but am looking for the best solution
for remote. Sigh I guess I am going to have to dig into VNC.
