How To Configure Remote Access To Your Ubuntu Desktop (HowtoForge)
HowtoForge has published
a tutorial about configuring remote access on a Ubuntu system.
"This guide explains how you can enable a remote desktop on an Ubuntu desktop so that you can access and control it remotely. This makes sense for example if you have customers that are not very tech-savvy. If they have a problem, you can log in to their desktops without the need to drive to their location. I will also show how to access the remote Ubuntu desktop from a Windows XP client and an Ubuntu client."

When I tried the vncviewer a while ago it was mostly unusable over WAN since it was so slow. I like NX Nomachine for remote access. It is fast even over slow network links. There is also a free client FreeNX, though I could not get it to work with the 3.x version of the NX server.
