[PLUG] VNC on Linux

[Randall Lucas]

The graphical suggestions are good IF you can afford the time, hassle, 
and politics of putting the special client (er, server, depending on 
what flavor) on the remote machine.

On the other hand, for those of you who can live without the graphics, 
"screen" is the niftiest program ever, supporting all kinds of stuff 
like detaching and reattaching, scrollback buffers in each of multiple 
windows, split-screen, and intelligent key bindings that don't conflict 
much with other apps' magic keys.  And all you need is a VT100 (emulator).

Not enough people use or know about screen, but even if you never use 
the multiple virtual window capability, it's worth using screen within 
the window for all your terminal sessions in case you get booted -- you 
can always reattach to the screen and have your process happily waiting 
for you.
