From: .Martin. on 2 Nov 2009 20:57 Hi all, What's the BEST (we all love this word, don't we:)) remote desktop control program/protocol to take over the mouse/keyboard to perform some maintenance actions. I'm going to use ssh for most things, but sometimes I'll need to have the access to the desktop. I'm going to connect from slackware to ubuntu. Thank you regards Martin
