*The Problem Statement. *
The primary objective is the desktop sharing, I need to share/access the
LInux Desktop from the Windows as well as from the Linux box. The source and
destination systems are wired across the Internet.
Any pointer or suggestion are highly appreciated.
The usual solution for this is "vnc". There is also a java applet
that allows you to view the desktop in a browser.
In such contexts I like to point out GNU Screen.

I did a poor job of the article, but screen is really fantastic.
You can connect to screen using the -x switch for mutiview. The manpage
is confusing and does not stress enough the value of this usage.
But for most practical troubleshooting situations in the UNIX world, screen
is much better than bitmapped remote access.
