Remote PC Access
MyWebEx PC is offering a free remote access software package. It looks interesting, and I gave it a try. Installation went fine, but when I tried to connect, I was unable to.*
Initially the account is set up as their fancy version, which is only free through April. At that point you'll have a chance to switch to the free version.
UPDATE: Reader Lippy informs me that he recommends VNC and Exceed. Given the opportunity, I'll give them a try.
*UPDATE 2: I tried accessing my computer from home, and it went fine. It ran a little slower than I hoped, but not slower than I expected.

uh, thats what VNC is for, bring free.
ALternatively, eXceed is amazing.

VNC and Exceed serve subtly different functions. Exceed will launch X applications to a local "server" (i.e. your Windows machine).
VNC will show what is currently on your display.
Anyways, TightVNC is apparently a better implementation of VNC, so you may want to try that. Get it from Sourceforge.
