DJC, that was my second though. I figured I'd give Buffiestas first shot at monitoring me!!!
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've installed Ubuntu. It was easy, and it looks pretty.
I'm trying to decide if I should keep the KVM I just bought, or run it headless. I hied my ass to RealVNC, because that's what I last used for this sort of stuff--but back in the day I didn't care about Macs. Now that I'm a three OS household, I'd like a remote desktop tool that will run to or from OS X, XP, and Linux.
Uh, for free--am I asking too much, or does anyone know of a product?

Your tag here.
ita, I prefer UltraVNC to the Real variety.
Regarding platform support:
UltraVNC runs under Windows™ operating systems (95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003...), but its embedded JavaViewer allows you to connect (and make File Transfers) from a simple Web Browser on any Operating system supporting Java™ (Linux, Mac OS...) to an UltraVNC server.

That won't help me run Ubuntu headless, though. RealVNC has a Linux server. From reading about UltraVNC it looks like it only has a Windows server.
My optimal setup is a server for each OS, and a viewer for each. RealVNC gets me 5/6 of the way there.

Gotcha.
RealVNC from this [link] recommends this Mac OS X VNC Server [link] which gets you the last 1/6.
Edit: Here's a VNC client for OS X as well [link] .

Chicken of the VNC is supposed to be good on OS X.

Whee! I have VNC running right on the PC (I'm on the Linux box right now, VNCed into the PC which is at my feet, so it's really quite pointless). The OS X server is being balky, but I'll hold off on that until tomorrow. Since there's the whole Chicken thing.
However, the Linux VNC server I eventually installed (not RealVNC, but whatever package Synaptic let me get at) gives me a blank screen on the PC. I do remember this before, but not how to fix it. Is it an X server issue on the Linux side? It doesn't look to be anything client side.
When I started vncserver on the Linux box, I did nothing other than give it a password. Maybe I'm missing parameters...
Back to the drawing board.
eta: I do have x11vnc working fine, but I'd like to not use the current X11 session. And damn, this way round (I'm on the PC connecting to the Linux box) is much slower.
