OK. Want to hear something spooky. I am following this thread and
someone mentioned Teamviewer. So I downloaded Teamviewer and started
researching it a little bit and in a matter of a couple of minutes I
receive an email from Webex inviting me to a demo.
Coincidence???????

when thins quiet down.
They have done a great job with this and have installs for Ubuntu,
VMWare, and compile-from-source if you don't yet understand that
Debian is God's Own OS.

I am going to go with Teamviewer. I like their quick connect - I'll share a
link with her and have her read a string of numbers back to me...we will be
on the phone already anyhow...

a) Have a Linux desktop machine or server on your school LAN, that is
reachable from the outside via ssh.
b) ssh -XC to that box
c) Run whatever utility on the command line (vncviewer ip-address, etc.),
and the GUI pops up on your remote box.

Have a look at these:
www.crossloop.com
http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx
www.showmypc.com
I usually use logmein for remote access but I like showmypc for an easy
way to connect to someone. Teamviewer and Crossloop are similiar to
showmypc.

Subject: [tech-geeks] Over-the-Internet remote desktop viewing
I tried to use a generic subject line, but I'm wondering what is
popular out there for remote assistance over the Internet these days?
Especially if I can use a Linux desktop and take a peek at a Win7
screen. I have some great tools for my LAN, but have not connected over
the 'net for a some time.
I want the other user to be logged in and watching me move their
mouse...
