does anyone know of a program that I can use to remotly access my linux box from work. The requirements are that I need a gui interface and I need to access it using windows 2000 on nt 4.0. I am currently running redhat 6.2 with kernal 2.4

What you are looking for is VNC. It may be pretty slow unless you have a fat pipe from work to home. It's GPL'd as well.

why dont you setup SSH on your linux box?
Then you can use a 3rd party secured telnet prog to access it using ssh.

Speck</STRONG>I don't know what type of connection between your house and work but setting the VNC viewer client to 8-bit color can speed things up a bit. Also, if you don't mind paying about $80,

http://www.lab-pro.com/ has some software where you only have to install on the client and is a bit quicker than VNC. There are others but as far as I know VNC is the only completely free app. Do you absolutely need a GUI? If not a SSH client for windows would be the best choice.
