Hello.

My friend who lives far away needs help with his PC but he cannot understand what I am saying to him over the phone. I heard there are programs that will allow me to have total control over his system remotely. It this possible/viable?

Where can I get one of those?
 
UltraVNC has a utility that can put together a single executable that you can send to someone and when they run it, it will establish a vnc connection with your computer. It requires no installation and I think it works for limited users and will work if they are behind a firewall.

Otherwise, they could install UltraVNC on their computer, open tcp port 5900 on their local software firewall, forward port 5900 from their home router/firewall and then you can initiate a session from the UltraVNC Viewer on your computer.
 
You could use the trial of LogMeIn. They install the client on their machine, and then you can connect to it from the web. It works on Windows and OS X, but i'm not sure about linux, so that was why i was asking
