A good remote desktop?

I am in search of a good, inexpensive remote desktop software package, preferably one that I can install on my laptop to allow me to visually interface with my computer at home when I am away. Not really in need of a high end secure package, just something that will do the job so I can run some things while I am away.

Thanks
 
Are you running XP Pro ? Remote Desktop (native to XP) is the most inexpensive of course.

RAdmin from famatech.com is also another popular solution and that costs only $35.

vnc or winxp remote desktop

there is somethign called TIGHTvnc, which is far better than VNC, uses better compression, yet is completely ripped from vnc and is compatible with its viewer
 
can anyone link a very easy tutorial on how to setup nvc or tight vnc. Believe me I have googled.

I can make tight vnc work in my LAN but making it work thru internet is another question.

Usuall problem is dynamic dns--most home isp's and how to configure it to work thru a router.
 
my problem is linux (redhat), I want to login into an existing session. I haven't found a solution for that yet.
 
I use VNC with putty whenever I wanna work from home. I use port forwarding that lets me login on the linux server through putty and then use VNC viewer to control my work pc.
