Ubuntu Remote Desktop – Alternatives to TeamViewer

remote desktopremote-managementUbuntu

I have a few different Desktop versions of Ubuntus (13.04, 12.04, Kubuntu,..) on different computers.

I would like to manage all of them on a single computer via remote connection and be able to use GUI programs on the remote computer as team viewer allows.

But, team viewer provides a limited connection time for the free versions. Therefore, I am looking for a substitute that it is easy to install, use, and works fine on different versions of Ubuntu desktops, and freeware.

What would be your suggestion?

Best Answer

I would use the application Vinagre.

vinagre

You invoke it from the command line like so:

$ vinagre

There is also a applet that should be available when you install it so that you can just pick machines that you've bookmarked with it form a pulldown when you add the applet to your toolbar.
