A lot of people have answered already, but you may be interested to know |

the current linux release of skype 2.1.0.81 lets you share part or all |
8 |
of your desktop. It's view only, and it replaces the webcam stream with |
9 |
your desktop - pretty neat. |

For 2-way desktop interaction we often use vnc. Use a vnc server and |
12 |
client capable of the tight extensions, and don't forget to use them: |
13 |
vncviewer -encodings tight host |
14 |
or |
15 |
vncviewer -via somehost -encodings tight localhost |
16 |
would ssh via somehost. Use localhost if you can ssh directly to the |
17 |
box, or the actual hostname accessible via 'somehost' if you have to go |
18 |
via a gateway. |

I use net-misc/tightvnc. If you can ssh to the box, you can vnc to it. |
21 |
You could run skype as well just for the audio. |

While it may be true that a watched pot never boils, the one you don't |
28 |
keep an eye on can make an awful mess of your stove. |
