I tried the Remote Desktop, but didn't care for it. I didn't like being constrained to 8-bit color and only 1 user at a time. With VNC, I like the fact that I can start an Winamp session and it will play through my desktop system upstairs, especially since it's hooked up to a killer stereo. With Remote Desktop, it would just complain about the lack of a sound driver, even though the laptop has one. VNC makes for a neat remote control jukebox!
