Remote Control Software - VNC

VNC(Virtual Network Computing) is a platform independent remote control software from AT&T lab which support MS Windows, X Windows and Mac oprate system. It's the easiest remote software i've used.

Using VNC, you can:
1) Remote control your other computers. The main feature of VNC is remote controling. You need install the server package of VNC in server side(controled computer). In client side, no install is needed. Just run the viewer application is OK. The usage of VNC is very easy, You can control remote computer in window or fullscreen mode. Even you can remote shutdown the other computer.
2) Remote monitor your other computers. As an additional feature, you can use VNC as a remote monitor software watching the remote computers. To do this, just uncheck the local keyboard/mouse checkbox in VNC option dialog.

TIP: To control remote computer in screen saved mode or locked mode, you must install VNC as service by VNC administration tools in VNC start program menu.
TIP: To lock or unlock the remote computer, you must send Ctrl-Alt-Del to the remote, but this key is keeped by local computer, so you can only send Ctrl-Alt-Del by select "send ctrl-alt-del" from VNC system menu.

There are some derived software from standard VNC which add some useful features and bugless. TightVNC is a good one which support JAVA technology that can let any client access to VNC server by IE, That is say, NO client software is needed at client computer. Very nice feature! TightVNC is published under GNU license, you can get it from SourceForge.
