It is quite easy to install. Download the client, click, click, click. Download the three packages for the server, then do: sudo dpkg -i nx* Use the wizard to connect first time, thereafter it is one easy click. I used to be a loyal tightvnc user until I discovered NX. Official site and d/l: nomachine.com Available for all platforms. It runs over SSH port 22. So fast you will forget you are not on the console.

However, I would suggest, Mike, you shop around at hamanchi, techinline and logmein because they all have great freee trials, and you should pick the one you like best.

I used to use Hamachi and a vnc but was wondering if you knew of a single dedicated client like Logmein for Ubuntu.
