I use SUSE and have found the following remote administration tools to be exceptional.
1. The NX thin client/server software from www.nomachine.com. This permits you to take remote control of your desktop from Windows. It is also true thin client software, so you can have multiple simultaneous users connected, each with their own desktop. It's great stuff, and much nicer than VNC, which I previously used and abandoned. It's exceptionally fast on a LAN--almost indistinguishable from a live session (providing you're not playing arcade games)--and remarkably fast over the web too. 2. The Webmin web administration software from www.webmin.com. This permits you to conduct administration of your system through any web browser. It is not remote desktop software, but will permit you to administrate and configure a wide variety of system software and settings. My primary uses for it are for shutting-down/resetting my machine, and for performing administration tasks for my MySQL databases. But Webmin's capabilities go much further should you need to do more.
