For graphic usage, you have at least the following options:

  • SPICE (http://spice-space.org/download.html)
  • NoMachine's NX Server (http://www.nomachine.com/)
  • VNC (http://www.redhat.com/magazine/006apr05/features/vnc/)

SPICE is newer and pretty slick. I've used NX Server for years and it's great. VNC is pretty unsecure, so use that as a last ditch option.
