My recommendation is for SSH and X11 for doing window stuff. I DO NOT
recommend using PCAnywhere for anything in any kind of secure environment.
Remember that PCAnywhere was written to allow you to remote a display on a
single user operating system (AKA Windows). Since Linux is multiuser,
multitasking, there is no need to remote the console of the machine. A
correctly configured SSH will set up a virtual tunnel for X11 tasks so that you
can run X11 applications, as well as handle a simple text screen. I have used
it extensively for administration of servers, etc. from my office (servers in
secure room).
We did a class on SSH some time ago. Maybe it's time to revisit this since
I've gained quite a bit of knowledge about it recently and we have several
other experts in the group.
Cheers!
