Just to add to the conversation, you can also use the RDP plug-in through Chrome. It works pretty well, tying the computers you have access to to your Google account, allowing you to access them later with a PIN.<br><br><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp</a><br>
<br>Since I found out about it, I've stopped dealing with SSH tunneling each time I want to get into my box at home. Of course, this is only an option if you don't mind letting Google store a little information. ;-)<div>

<div class="gmail_extra">VNC can be a bit flakey when operating cross platform. If you have 3 or fewer Windows and Mac computers you might want to try LogMeIn. Easy to setup, no mucking about with ssh forwarding of VPN configuration, and on Windows you can grab your console. You still can't do multiple simultaneous users unless you use a Windows Server OS. When accessing LogMeIn on Linux I'm guessing you would have to have Java enabled on your browser, but they might have a cross platform Firefox plugin. Last time I tried in Chrome it kicked me to the Java version. When you first sign up LogMeIn will give you 30 days of the Pro edition, and if you don't pay them and have 3 or fewer computers it will drop to the free edition (and occasionally ask you to upgrade to the paid edition again, which can be ignored indefinitely.) </div>
