Is There a Remote Support Client that Supports Linux?

My primary computer is my Macbook pro (OSX), and I need to access my Linux Desktop. I used Teamviewer before, when my Desktop ran Xp, but i changed to Ubuntu. Is there any other reliable (preferably free) program that can fill in for this?

  1. You want to take a look at VNC {Virtual Network Computing}, which is a protocol that allows a desktop to be viewed & remotely controlled over the internet. It is available in free Open Source versions as well as some that are not free.

    From your question it sounds like you want to set up the VNC server on the system running Ubuntu and use a VCN client on your Macbook to interact with it.
