www.realvnc.com if you don't like UltraVNC which I've never used so can't comment on.

Of cause if you use Windows XP on both systems, remote desktop works just fine.

TightVNC is regarded by some as being one of the best clients as it uses a better type of compression than others, although quality might be slightly less

I've often wished the compression would be better, over slow networks it's a nightmare.

Personally, I prefer remote desktop connection, as it's transferring actual events, not images

I use TightVNC - was the easiest to setup. Thing is, IN THEORY, you can use one VNC server in linux and TightVNC as a client in Windows. Well.. in theory = I used to do that.. It did work well! But now I've progress on from using desktops and I'm a little bit of a command line geek

Linux rarely uses the "/help" arguement. Its usually "-h" or "-?". Its often better to do "man [command]", eg "man tar". Each command usually has a manual.
