I rely on it HEAVILY for the disconnect/reconnect feature.

Adam affirms use of SSH (which can tunnel your X traffic)
and that's probably even more efficient on bandwidth than VNC.

But you asked about  "VNC to a Linux system".
If you meant  "VNC to a Linux-on-zSeries system"  then there
would also be the CPU intensive nature of the VNC server to consider.
The value of a VNC server on mainframe Linux is largely proof-of-concept.
