I like tightvnc (or vnc). Each user can have his/her own uniquely configured session; and this can be different from the desktop that would appear if the user was logging in locally. For example, on a server at work, I can log into a KDE desktop; but when I use tightvnc to login remotely, I use something lighter (xfce).
Since I don't want the vncserver using resources all the time; I use ssh to login and turn vncserver on manually before I login graphically. I use the same ssh session to turn it off when I'm done. Tightvnc and vnc are available for many operating systems; and work across different platforms. There's even a vnc client for Windows CE to extend the usefulness of a PDA by leaps and bounds.
