GUI Remote Desktop - Windows to Linux

I'm linux both ways, but on the server end the current app is vnc4server which should be available across all distros, and installs in the usual way.
My remote admin friend on my site uses realVNC which he got from somewhere or other *cough* .. We run xfce as the desktop for lightness and speed.

If you are running kde at the remote location then after logging on the normal way to start a desktop session is with "startkde" or "startgdm" or in our case "startxfce4" Obviously some applications will not work as well as others, but for our usage (remote admin of a webserver) we have experienced no problems.

Headaches? You need to write a script/add to rcS.d to run the server at startup/reboot otherwise you have no access to your desktops. I always forget that..

Anyone heard of Logmein? Basically it lets you log into any client computer with nothing needing to be installed except a firefox plugin.

Anyone know if anything like this exist for windows>linux?

Basically I work on a Windows machine, I want to access my computer at home but I don't think my company wants me installing VNC or other remote desktop apps on their computers.

Looks like what you need. Try the free version and see how it goes.

Whether that will work with a linux home machine is a mystery, the site has very little information. You will probably have to either add your work IP to your trusted hosts or destroy your home pc security to get in though. *nix doesn't on the whole like remote login unless it's by ssh
