There are many ways to take control over a Linux or Windows computer:
| program | mean | possible from Windows | browser enablement possible | CLI only access possible |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ssh (successor of telnet and rsh) | issue commands to a remote computer | yes3 | no | yes |
| shell in a box, ajaxterm, webmin2 | issue commands to a remote computer via a browser | yes | yes1 | no |
| xdmcp | get a graphical login to a desktop | yes | no | no |
| vnc | get a graphical desktop on a remote computer, sharable with other users | yes | yes2 | no |
| x11vnc | take over a graphical session that has been started out of vnc | no | no | no |
| guacamole | share a Linux desktop over a browser | yes | yes | no |
| nx | get a low-latency graphical login to a desktop | yes | no | no |
| rdesktop | get a dedicated session on a Windows computer | yes4 | no | no |
| webex, teamviewer, gotomeeting, mymeetingroom | take over a graphical session using a browser | yes | yes | no |
1 you will not be able to run e.g. apache on the same port as shell in a box
2 you will not be able to cross a typical corporate network. You will need access to more ports on the server than 80 and 443
3 use mobaxterm which will give your graphical and console access
4 as command use mstsc
With WebEx and with x11vnc you will be able to take over an existing session and work jointly on it. This is useful for support and training.
