Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I downloaded a copy of tightVNC and I'll test it sometime this weekend. If PC Anywhere must be used, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I find it to be a little bit bloated for my tastes.

I had considered using a combination of Remote Desktop and FTP, but when I tried running it I ran into a few problems that sealed the deal against that thought; specifically, if I was logged into my main rig under any user while I tried to connect via my laptop, it actually asked the user on the main rig whether they wanted to allow the connection. I might not be able to touch the PC while I'm gone, but at least one other person will be. Not only is it troublesome for them to have to log out when they're done, but if they don't, I'm essentially locked out of my PC. No thanks.
