vino
Vino is a tool for remote administration readily built into the GNOME Desktop Environment. It allows you to share your local desktop with a remote computer. This can be used for quick and efficient in-house support as well as for remote assistance via Internet. A broadband connection (adsl/cable) is advantageous, but with some speed limitations, classic modem lines are possible, too. Another potential scenario of use is the classroom where the trainer can be given insight into the student’s computers from his desk.
