If its on a network with windows boxes like mine is, I just remote desktop
into a windows XP box then I can VNC or SSH into the linux box locally. I
was under the impression that using the local network to connect to your
linux box was a bit more secure than going through the WAN. But of course,
not every linux server is setup on a network where a windows XP box is on
the same LAN. Just one little step I do to help security since my server is
at home. But then again... one has to wonder how secure remote desktop for
windows really is... guess it's a win/lose situation =)
