I need a solution for Linux, and it needs to be cheap. So your suggestion
below won't work.

Re: VNC - get "TightVNC" since the VNC people don't give a damn about
how slow it runs or how much bandwidth it uses.
They code to allow for people to do something about that but
specifically say that is not their problem to implement themselves.
VNC is PAINFULLY slow even on my local 100Mbit network!!!
TightVNC is quite a bit faster
(but still a little slow considering I'm using 100Mbit links between
my computers upstairs and downstairs)
