Here's another vote for logmein.com. It's slightly big-brotherish, but for some situations it's nice being able to connect from anywhere without much of an install. The client runs with Java or a FF plugin. Once the code is installed on your "server", just log into your account on logmein.com from wherever and you're controlling things. The basic version is free.

The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
